What Ford-helmed film follows a treacherous sea journey from the West Indies to England by a British tramp steamer?

Eugene O'Neill's "Sea Plays" served as the basis of the screenplay for 1940's The Long Voyage Home. John Ford's love affair with sailing turned into this ode to a sea voyage across the Atlantic, from the West Indies to Boston to merry old England. Ford received two Best Picture nominations in a single year for both Voyage and John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. Unfortunately, he double-lost to Rebecca.
