Marooned (1911) Online

The captain of a sailing craft about to leave on a long voyage drives his son away because of his refusal to accompany him. Later on at sea the captain is overpowered by a mutinous crew, marooned on a desert island with the first and second mates. The mutineers, sailing on and on over the stormy seas, finally put in at a port, where they witness a clever fight, the hero of which they take aboard and subsequently make him captain. This is the old captain's son, who, realizing that it is his father's craft, fathoms the mystery of the captain's disappearance and finally succeeds in rescuing him. The mates have died and the old man has lost his mind with the hardships he has borne; but the picture of the boy's mother brings him back to his senses and a happy reunion results.

A sea story of the days when quill pens were used. The old sea captain was furious because his son, Matt, wouldn't go on the cruise with him, and disowned him. On that cruise the crew mutinied and marooned the captain. They bring the ship to the port where Matt is and he, innocently, ships with them. Later, Matt finds the truth, and when a train of circumstances makes him captain, he rescues his father, whom he finds vacant-minded. In a well-conducted scene it is shown how slowly, step by step, by help of this and that trinket which had been his, his memory and a realization of the situation come to him. There are some very interesting pictures on the film. And while the situation is not very vital, the film gives a well-designed and interesting narrative. - The Moving Picture World, October 28, 1911
