"A rickety brigantine puts out to sea for Mexico, but when the pump fails, the resolute Captain, square-jawed Rock Hudson heads to Honolulu for safety. He's plagued by his insolent, diabolical First Mate (Arthur Kennedy, of course) and a cool temptress with a past (Cyd Charisse, of course). The rest of the motley crew and passengers are an eclectic bunch, portrayed by some fine character actors. The plot development is as slow as the voyage and the climactic storm is the low budget kind. But all sea stories, by their nature, are somewhat suspenseful...."

The ship featured in the film is the Albatross, a brigantine that was later sailed by Dr. Christopher B. Sheldon for his Ocean Academy, a summer program that took on high school-age boys to study preparatory college classes and sail training. The ship sank in a storm in the summer of 1961, drowning Sheldon's wife, the ship's cook and 3 other students. This story was dramatized in Ridley Scott's film White Squall (1996), starring Jeff Bridges.
