During a two-year voyage, Neil Hollander and Harald Mertes filmed a vanishing breed of sailors and craft. In this fascinating and evocative programme, the filmmakers succeed in capturing the spirit of a bygone era when men set out under sail to explore and trade. Narrated by: Orson Welles, 'The Last Sailors' is about the men who, with their ancient craft, still harness the wind and the sea for their livelihood.
