Six voyages with Clare Francis Narrated by Laurence Olivier 2: The World Encompassed
The first voyagers crossed the vast Pacific in small canoes searching for landfall and a home on distant islands. Centuries later came the galleons of the European explorers. For them the Pacific was a highway in the quest for gold and eastern spices. CLARE FRANCIS sails in the replica of the Golden Hinde, on its new journey round the world, and we visit one of the few places where the old life of the islands still continues almost unchanged.
Principal advisers j. H. PLUMB and BASIL GREENHILL. Music by CARL DAVIS Series written and directed by MICHAEL GILL and ANTHONY MAYER A MALONE-GILL production
