A man in a vest tends a fire while another man in a uniform enters, greets him warmly, and speaks about a ship called the Merrimack. The uniformed man gestures animatedly as they discuss the ship's qualities before being told to be quiet.
“10 minutes! Roast the fatted calf, Uncle John. I'm home on leave. Don't worry, I roast you plenty. How was the trip? Oh, it was the grand trip, sir. The Merrimack's mighty seaworthy. Yeah, so it's Noah's Ark. Yeah, what are you standing there for? Take the bellows. The fire is dying down.” 3:28 · “So you like the merriman, eh? Why, Uncle, she's the greatest ship afloat.” 3:48 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.
