I dont see the disrespect in calling these men as boys. That is an Australian term of endearment. Calling women guys in the US is not considered disrespectful or insulting when addressing a group of several people. Those are the cultural norms, on the part of the narrator, not the crew.

Zanzibar, birthplace of Freddy Mercury and one of the largest slave ports in the world for hundreds of years. The Zanzibar slave market didnt close until 1873, and then only under threat of bombardment by the British Navy.

This seems sometimes to be what the English want of other countries: old civilisations, stuck countries, underdeveloped nations. the fact that Gagarin went to space 60 years go. it doesnt matter. They dont like that.

As usual for that period of time, Tanzania is left behind, while the archipelago of Zanzibar and Pemba are geopolitically Tanzania territory. Kenya is more emphasized, being direct British colony in the past.

Wow, I never had so much desire to do what he just did. I just always hear the bad things about Africa, like you will be scammed and probably killed if you are white. So I just never wanted to go.

This reminds me of a National Geographic edition of the Tim Severin Sindbad-like voyage in a replica arab ship, sailing from Oman, if im not mistaken. Very exciting voyages indeed.

Great documentary. However it was a turn off when he repeatedly referred to his crew as boys. The oldest man over 80. I am sure you had someone to edit your script.

Would they even entertain the idea of a female photographer on the boat? Plenty of female explorers from way back. I only see men at the markets.
