Voyage of the Brigantine Yankee

[David Bogart]

I am interested in finding/purchasing a copy of the National Geographic Special, "Voyage of the Brigantine Yankee", broadcast in 1966 on CBS TV. If you should have this video on tape or DVD or can direct me to someone that might, I would be most appreciative of any information. Thank-you. David Bogart

I have this DVD set. The Voyage of the Brigantine Yankee is NOT on it. To the best of my knowledge the "Voyage" has NEVER been re-released since 1966. Perhaps someone from NGS could enlighten us if this is incorrect?  I did see a mint original 16MM copy of the Voyage sell on ebay recently. Perhaps it will show up digitally someday so us "pirates" may obtain a good copy.

Happy New Year to all!

The six hour long specials that are on the WORLD'S LAST GREAT PLACES DVD are:

"World's Last Great Places: Africa - Coastal," " World's Last Great Places: Africa - Inland," "World's Last Great Places: Deserts," "World's Last Great Places: Islands," "World's Last Great Places: North America," and "World's Last Great Places: Rainforest."

Good Morning Mike - I have six treasured NG magazines that contain articles about the Yankee, five by the Johnsons and one, the final one, by Luis Marden. They are:

     January 1942 - Westward Bound in the Yankee

     March 1951 - Yankee Roams the Orient

     January 1955 - South Seas' Incredible Land Divers

     May 1959 - Lost World of the Galapagos

     December 1959 - New Guinea to Bali in Yankee

     February 1966 - Saga of a Ship, The Yankee

Thanks to my father, I also have four hardcover books, three by the Johnsons and one, a collaborative effort by the Johnsons and Lydia Edes, a crewmember. There may be more. They are:

     Westward Bound in the Schooner Yankee - 1936 - W.W Norton & Company

     Sailing to See - 1939 - W.W. Norton & Company

     Yankee's Wander World - 1949 - W.W. Norton & Company

     Yankee's  People and Places - 1955 -W.W. Norton & Company

This continues to be quite a voyage. I hope you can find some of what you are looking for. Regards - David Bogart
