- Charlie Winters: I was a sailor you know, for 40 years. Sailed the Horn 35 times. Many times. Night like this... we'd run before the wind. Me behind that big iron wheel. And the captain... standing her face in that watery hell. That old man feared nothing. Me and the captain... we came here when they gave him never another ship. They were cruel men... them that run the ships. Company men.
