A series of six programmes about sailing ships that have survived.

This beautiful square rigger was originally built in the 1930s as one of the world's most extravagant wedding presents for the heiress Marjorie Hutton. For many years Sea Cloud, the largest four-masted barque to sail under the American nag, was her private yacht. Now the ship is in the charter business at £35,000 a week. Her passengers enjoy the romance of voyaging under sail while living in luxury worthy of a millionairess.

An affectionate look at the American cowboy, Hollywood's most romanticised creation. This American programme features some of the great stars who transformed the dusty, desolate cattle trails and towns of America into an arena of adventure, heroism and rugged individualism. It includes clips from such classics as Shane, High Noon, Gunfight at the OK Corral, as well as the great William S. Hart in Tumbleweeds Landrush in 1925.

British Rail have pinned their hopes on the Advanced Passenger Train. It's an excellent design with a great deal of new technology, from the hydraulic mechanism that tilts the coaches to new braking and suspension systems. Yet from the start the project has been hampered by delays, disputes and breakdowns. A small and youthful team of commissioning engineers was given the task of making the train work. Horizon joined them for a crucial week as the engineers raced against time to solve the train's problems by today. 7 December, when - if all goes well - the train will start the first 125 mph passenger service from London to Glasgow.
