Barry Perrins aboard White Shadow anchors at St Helena, one of the South Atlantic's most remote islands, and documents the mandatory shore-boat ferry system at Jamestown — private dinghies are prohibited due to rough sea conditions.Watch The ferry, operated by a boatman named Colin, requires passengers to grip a rope frame to swing aboard; on the last run of the day, rough swells forced the boat to stand off in deep water before circling back to collect stragglers.1:53 Perrins also wheels a failed refrigerator through Jamestown to the island's sole repair technician, who declares it terminal — warm beer from that point on.4:50 The genealogical thread running through the episode traces his seven-times-great-grandfather Matthew Bassett, who arrived on St Helena in 1684 as an East India Company soldier and later married Bridget Coles of Pleasant Valley; Perrins spends a full day in the island's archive tracing property records.7:22 Ashore, he explores High Knoll Fort (begun 1799), the crumbling and unsecured Munden's Battery (circa 1700), and finds a Joshua Slocum monument outside the building — now a radio station — where Slocum spoke in 1898.12:40 A neighboring yacht in the anchorage lost a starboard lower spreader on passage and moves to calmer water fearing mast failure in the swell.11:02
