00:22
In the beginning the world was all wet. Today it is still four-fifths wet.
00:30
[music]
00:32
Man, the nomad, in the course of his migrations often encountered bodies of water too wide or too deep to be crossed.
00:44
Always the thinker, man soon evolved the most primitive form of aquatic transportation, a log.
00:54
[music]
00:56
Supported by the log or seated upon it, the next question was one of propulsion.
01:03
First the foot, then the hand, and then, ah-ha, the first marine invention, the paddle.
01:13
[music]
01:18
From the paddle the logical development was the oar, which employed the simple mechanics of the lever and fulcrum,
01:25
producing maximum power with a minimum of effort.
01:33
Because of the limitless, uncharted expanse of water, the ancient mariner oft times found himself far, far out at sea,
01:43
with only the stars to guide him.
01:46
Star light, star bright, glasher, wish I knew where I was tonight.
01:59
Swiftly and surely the stars steered him on to his destination.
02:07
In the 13th century, even as today, great thinkers worried about what shape the world was in.
02:15
Some great minds firmly believed that if you sailed west far enough,
02:24
you would sail off the edge of the world.
02:36
From the earliest days, sailors were preyed upon by pirates.
02:43
In those romantic days, ships often changed captains very suddenly.
02:49
This colorful ceremony is called locking the plank or feeding the sharks.
02:58
Hey, bells, come and get it.
03:08
But old father Neptune went on the rampage.
03:23
For safety's sake, sailors would latch themselves to the mast.
03:30
Thus the sailor was able to stick to his post through hail and high water.
03:38
The flag is the sign language of the sea.
03:42
Sailors could communicate with each other by semaphoring and wig wagging.
04:00
He wigged what he should have wagged.
04:09
The happy carefree sailor expressed himself with a horn pipe, traditional dance of the sea.
04:16
Hauling in rope, hoisting sail, rowing, lookout, lookout.
04:39
Ah, the clipper ship, the queen of the seven seas, the heyday of sail, iron man.
04:51
Wooden ships.
04:54
Through centuries of practice, the sailor has developed a perfect set of sea legs.
05:06
A sailor is easily recognized by his wand.
05:10
Oh, knots.
05:13
Who should know how to tie knots better than the sailor?
05:16
He invented them.
05:17
The square knot.
05:19
The sheep shank.
05:22
The granny knot.
05:25
A very interesting knot.
05:27
Bears great strength.
05:30
The slip knot.
05:32
Now the barrel knot, most slip proof of all.
05:38
Take it away!
05:43
This explains why sailors are often called old tars.
05:50
And now, through trial and error, the sailor has at last mastered the sea.
05:56
A far cry indeed from his early ancestors to the modern scientific mariner of today.
06:09
All hands, man battle stations, stand by to attack.
06:14
Hey! Stand by to attack!
06:20
Ready?
06:25
And...
06:27
Fire!
