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.

00:56 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.

01:17 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,

01:42 with only the stars to guide him.

01:45 Star light, star bright, I sure wish I knew where I was tonight.

01:58 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, you would sail out 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 rocking the plank or feeding the sharks.

02:58 Eight bells, come and get it.

03:08 When old father Neptune went on the rampage,

03:23 for safety's sake, sailors would latch themselves to the mast.

03:29 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.

03:41 Sailors could communicate with each other by semaphoring and wig wagging.

03:59 He wigged what he should have wagged.

04:09 The happy carefree sailor expressed himself with the horn pipe, traditional dance of the sea.

04:16 Hauling in rope, hoisting sail, rowing, lookout.

04:31 Lookout!

04:39 Ah, the clipper ship.

04:41 The queen of the seven seas.

04:44 The heyday of sail.

04:47 Iron man.

04:51 Wooden ships.

04:53 Through centuries of practice, the sailor has developed a perfect set of sea legs.

05:05 A sailor is easily recognized by his walk.

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.

05:34 Most slip proof of all.

05:37 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 Aim.

06:27 Fire.

06:30 Fire.

06:33 Fire.
