“A Sailor of the World” with Georg Stage

Georg Stage turned 60 in the year this film was recorded. That same year, 63 hopeful students signed on one cold spring day in April at Holmen in Copenhagen.

They arrived as boys and girls, facing six months of demanding seafaring training by choice. Not everyone completed the journey, but those who did left the ship as men and women.

Follow Nick and Sofie on their long voyage on board across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, the United States, Canada, and back home again — a journey they will never forget, and one that everyone on board still remembers as a highlight of their lives.
