Four men are on the deck of a ship; one speaks about a steamer stopping at the dock and mentions love sickness. The men wear sailor or tropical attire, and one is seen handling a rope.
“The scum of the South Seas. The Maori mate, she sail pretty quick, Captain. Better hurry. She's the only steamer stopping here for a month to come.” 4:59 · “Not that I ain't broken a lot of hearts in me time. Oh, well. Winter Rover, always a Rover.” 5:16 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. 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.
