That link did not work for me.

I rummaged around on the site and found the film here. http://www.filmpreservation.org/preserved-films/screening-room/u-s-navy-documentary-1915

The page you were looking for doesn't exist.

You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.

That is, uh, fascinating.....

Maybe a better link might help.

I love the footage of PT

"Alright men, give me 20 Iroquois Thrusts!!"

I was impressed with the level of technical capability, 95 years ago. I saw some amazing machined items (gun breeches). And wouldn't you like to see the engines that drove those ships and boats - what did they have, only a dozen years after we were driving the Model A?

ts - what did they have, only a dozen years after we were driving the Model A?

Model A = 1928 thru 1931. Maybe you meant Model T

Bur thanks a lot. I really enjoyed it.
