Trivia

Although the setting for most of the story was New England, to avoid winter weather it was filmed in Georgetown, SC. The filmmakers planned to move to Charleston when they needed to film with actual ships, but Georgetown's business community was able to produce two suitable ships to keep them there.

Scenes set in the Orient were filmed in New York's Chinatown, provoking a small riot from locals upset with the way Hollywood depicted the Chinese.

Notes

All exterior scenes were made in Georgetown, South Carolina, making use of the Revolutionary War home of General Lafayette. The working title of this film was Uncle Jack.
