      The ship, the Sk/S Christian Radich, is home-ported in Oslo and still sails as of 2019. It is possible to book passage on board and in some cases take part in daily shipboard operations as part of a 'trainee' crew similar to that which was shown in the film.
    • Alternate versions
      For its 1962 re-release, the film was converted to the Cinerama format.
    • Connections
      Referenced in The Last Days of Cinerama (2012)

    I practically became a Norwegian just from viewing this wonderful film.
    Windjammer, the visual story of a cruise on the Norwegian school ship Christian Radich, is one of my favorite all time films. It combines a variety of elements, especially the sea and Norway into a piece of extraordinary entertainment. I have the book from the movie and I have the music, but neither I nor anyone else, as far as I know, can ever see it again. It was produced as three films by three cameras and shown with three projectors as the process Cinemiracle. From what I have found out, the originals are destroyed. Whether they could have been combined onto one video tape is also questionable. But from this film I developed a great interest in Norway. Even though I do not have any Norwegian blood in me, I am a member of Sons of Norway. I have visited Norway but missed the Christian Radich which was out to sea. I have friends in Norway and I love Norway even when it is cold and gray. Hopefully I shall return to Norway, step aboard the Christian Radich, or maybe even ride it before the wind. Of all the films I loved not available for viewing, this is definitely the one I miss the most.
