Never before seen: Video from the first 'LRH Birthday' aboard the Scientology 'Freewinds' September 30, 2017, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

Wow, what a treat we have for you today. Thanks to a tipster who wants to remain nameless, we have something super rare in the world of Scientology — home video from an event, and not just any event, but the first L. Ron Hubbard birthday celebrated on the MV Freewinds, the church's private cruise ship.

The Freewinds took its maiden voyage under Scientology ownership in June 1988, and so the following March 13, in 1989, was the first Hubbard birthday to be celebrated on the boat.

While one group of members was visiting the ship for a few weeks as they completed OT 8, the highest auditing level there is, one of them had brought along a video camera to record things. And on the night of March 12, 1989, they captured the scene we're sharing with you today.
