Anecdotes
According to the AFI Catalog entry for this film, the three-masted, square-rigged sailing ship was named the "Santa Clara". She was built in 1876 in Bath, Maine. She ended up in San Francisco as part of the fleet of the Alaska Packers Association from 1896 to 1926, sailing yearly to participate in the salmon fishing season. After that, the Santa Clara was sold and moved to Los Angeles where it was used in the movies and possibly as a fishing barge. Sometime in the early 1930s it sank in San Pedro Harbor. Many attempts were made to salvage her, but she wasn't raised until 1964 when she was moved to a spot off of the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes and sunk on the order of the Coast Guard. For the film, the ship's crew consisted of forty Norwegian sailors, who were the only men left on the West Coast who could handle such a vessel. Filming aboard took six or seven days on Santa Catalina Island off California. The cast and crew endured three days of heavy rain and both the steam heating and plumbing system of their accommodations failed. Their only cooking facility had been reduced to one stove with soaked wood for fuel.

Helping Hanson Find His Faith

In the Spring of 1840, tall, fair and handsome Lars Hanson (as Anson Campbell) returns from seminary studies, to his little New England town. A prayerful and seafaring man, Mr. Hanson is welcomed by the folks at home, especially virginal sweetheart Marceline Day (as Mary Phillips). The pair plan to become minister and wife, but drift apart when Hanson defends Boston prostitute Pauline Starke (as Bess Morgan) against the town's wrath. He is advised, "Get that trull out of here!" But, Hanson shocks puritanical villagers by taking in the shipwrecked woman, and nursing the "Waterfront Jezebel" back to health.

Ironically, Hanson's "Christian charity" threatens his ministry and engagement. Returning her ring, Ms. Day exclaims, the "scarlet woman is stealing your soul!" In a grand scene, Ms. Starke tells Day she should have stood by her man. Ostracized, Hanson and Starke join a ship supposedly headed for Rio. That the Captain of the "Panther" is frequently nasty Ernest Torrence should tell you smooth sailing is not in the offing. Helping Hanson find his faith is one of Starke's best roles, and she performs it beautifully. Director John Robertson, photographer William Daniels, and the crew make "Captain Salvation" exciting.
