I wonder if they, the deck officers, today, on todays modern merchant ships, do a noon sighting with a sextant or has it been replaced with GPS technology? Back in the days when ships were British and proud, and no cheap foreign crew labour. Great video, far too short though!
So pure & clean back then.
Brilliant British film making.
Must have felt like another world after the War .
I was a Deckhand on her in the late 60s, good times
Cruise ships still tell how many miles have been travelled at noon each day.
And the weather
The famous Orient line

Is the year correct? Camera quality and styles suggest 1963 rather than 1953.
Narration volume TOO LOW, even turning off the AC I can barely hear it. Other channels and ADS are plenty loud.
Get a free volume booster app. Works for me.
It looks like where they filmed THE UNINVITED 🫥👻
