Trivia

• Who has seen the wind was filmed in Mazatlan waters.

• The real name of the ship was Culiacán, which was changed to Hirundo by the director.

• This ship was so old that high waves broke the wheel when a storm hit the area on Wednesday, September 30th, 1965.

• The Hirundo drifted for a few hours, so the captain had to anchor it until 14-foot fishing boats from Mazatlan came to rescue the players that night.

• However ship's crew and others, numbering 35, had to wait till next day, October 1st, when the ship was tugged to Mazatlan harbor.
