Claiborne was intrigued at a young age by movies, and his father, Herbert, apparently was, too -- the family purchased a camera, and shot film. In this clip, from 1920s footage, we see various Pells, including Herbert and Claiborne. Also, a trip to a city -- I'm guessing London -- and bullfighting. At the 6:55 mark, there's the handsome young Claiborne (probably about ten years old) at the tiller of a sailboat. His lifelong fascination with the sea began very early, and here's that fascination documented in film. very cool.
