The Way Of A Ship - Reel 2 (1953)

Amazing. You won't see the sights quite like this anymore. Thanks for posting!

Gosh, memories. I went on a school kids’ cruise on a ship like that in 1965 or so. Venice, Corfu, Delphi, Athens, Istanbul. Just like this film. Utterly memorable - and MUCH less crowded than today. Then, less than a decade later I was working in Australia, SE Asia and the Gulf. I was paid ‘Eastern Service Allowance’ - the remnants of empire.

Those were the days, when a ship actually looked like a ship...

2:00 You can hear the narrator recoil at the thought of “foreign” money. 😂

[@australiantrains8988]

The grand old days when Britain had a proud and respected merchant navy, an era when ships were grand and didn't look like floating apartment blocks cluttered with shopping malls...

3:35 'Instabul is originally Constantinoupolis, the Capital of the ancient Byzantium Empire as it was originally built from Greeks and them conquered from the Ottomans to be renamed to Instabul.''

Assault weapons DONT KILL PEOPLE,it’s the people. Think about it.

No, but people with assault weapons do.
