This film depicts the daily routine of sailor life aboard ship. The scenes cover the entire ship from aloft and below and from stem to stern. Certain views showing a physical drill muster of marines, inspection of arms, sending a semaphore message and sentencing delinquents to punishment, all play an important part in the attractiveness of this film and are equally as interesting as the wonderful mechanism of the great ship. An imposing scene showing the captain addressing his officers and crew assembled on the quarter deck will give a fair conception of the number aboard ship. A stirring view taken aboard the U.S. Minnesota shows the hoisting of the morning colors and stars and stripes are unfurled on high, to the martial air of the Star Spangled Banner. The scenic end of this picture is superb. One scene in particular, a fragment of beauty stolen from the gigantic Atlantic, pictures the sun shining on the water making a brilliant network over the ocean in dancing shadows of black and gold. The fleet steaming through this beauty forms a picturesque background like a silhouette against the sky. Another striking scene shows a flock of sea gulls hovering over the water m search of food, some skimming along the surface and others riding on the crest of a swelling billow.
