Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and observational; themes: naval activity, maritime setting, collective presence; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, static wide shots, dramatic backlighting in harbor scene

A ship emits smoke on the water, followed by a view of sailors on deck, then a harbor scene with sailboats and a small boat. No dialogue or named characters appear in this segment.

The record

A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
