Interesting that in 1928 the end of The Civil War was only 53 years in the past, as far in the past as The Vietnam War is today, and that nearly all the older men in the US would have been Civil War veterans.

Crazy to think about, Richard. Thanks for posting, Paul!

And they lived crazily ever after...

Thanks. That was fun. Great special effects for the era. Did anyone notice the name of the ship? - S. S. Hoot Man.

For a "dissertation" on Hoot Man with kilts and bagpipes see ...
