Directed by: Rupert Julian

year: 1927 81 minutes

THE YANKEE CLIPPER, produced by Cecil B. DeMille and directed by Rupert Julian, is a feature-length melodrama recreating the real-life race from Foo Chow to Boston for the China tea trade. The gorgeous production (restored to the most complete version available since the film’s release) was filmed at sea for six weeks aboard the 1856 wooden square-rigger Indiana with stars William Boyd, Elinor Fair and (Frank) “Junior” Coghlan. Organist Dennis James accompanies the film on an original-installation 1928 Wurlitzer pipe organ recorded at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre.
