Windjammer 1958 The Village of New York Song

This is the clip of the song "The Village of New York" taken from the 1958 spectacular "Windjammer: The Voyage of the Christian Radich", the first movie presentation in CINEMIRACLE. Cinemiracle was a widescreen cinema format competing with Cinerama developed in the 1950s. It was ultimately unsuccessful, with only a single film produced and released in the format. Like Cinerama it used 3 cameras to capture a 2.59:1 image. Cinemiracle used two mirrors to give the left and right cameras the same optical center as the middle camera.
This movie was a documentary film of a training cruise of the full-rigged S/S Christian Radich from Oslo across the Atlantic, through the Caribbean, to New York and back home again. "Windjammer" was produced by Louis De Rochemont and directed by his son Louis De Rochemont III. The world premiere of both Windjammer and the Cinemiracle system was at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on 8 April 1958. The film ran for 36 weeks. Windjammer was later transferred to the Cinerama format, and even to Cinemascope.
The crew consisted of the captain Yngvar Kjelstrup, 16 officers, 42 teenage cadets and the mascot dog Stump. They traveled 17, 500 miles.
This is truly one of my favorite movies since I was a child.
I grew up listening to the soundtrack of this movie and this had a great deal to do with my love for sea shanties, ships and the ocean.

This sequence will look absolutely superb in the restored DVD and Blu-ray. Also, in 5.1 Dolby surround.

Wonderful song. Composed by The Easyriders.

@jslasher1 I have loved the music from this movie for so many years. It really gave me a love for tall ships and songs about the sea and is really a part of me. I am so glad that this movie is finally going to get the recognition that it has deserved for so long now.

I am familiar with the song that you are talking about. A good one too!

It sounds like a new song, based on/inspired by the shanty "New York Girls" / "Can't Ye Dance the Polka"!

Thanks for the upload.
