Synopsis

During a crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, Edison Films captured a remarkable and dramatic image of a storm at sea. The photograph was taken by securing the camera to the after bridge of the *Kaiserine Maria Theresa*, a ship belonging to the North German Lloyd Line, during one of its most turbulent voyages. The image is described as the most extraordinary storm picture ever photographed and was taken under considerable risk. (Edison Films, 1901)

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
