Two officers in uniform argue on a ship's deck while crewmen operate a cannon; one officer is ordered to take command of a gun. A civilian man is briefly visible in conversation with an officer, and crewmen are seen loading powder into the cannon.

“could stand up higher like that. But you're wrong sir. Look. The very word is badly wounded sir. He ordered you to take man. They charge of the turret. I. I. You're in command of the number two gun. I said. Take over. I. She's dead. And. Valerie. Oh no.” 47:10 · “- Go to powder, up! - Ready! Ready, sir! Fire!” 47:40 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.
