00:24 In the beginning, the world was all wet. Today, it is still four-fifths wet.

00:31 [music]

00:33 Man, the nomad, in the course of his migrations, often encountered bodies of water too wide or too deep to be crossed.

00:45 Always the thinker, man soon evolved the most primitive form of aquatic transportation, a log.

00:55 [music]

00:58 Supported by the log, or seated upon it, the next question was one of propulsion.

01:05 First the foot, then the hand, and then, ah-ha, the first marine invention, the paddle.

01:15 [music]

01:19 From the paddle, the logical development was the oar, which employed the simple mechanics of the lever and fulcrum,

01:26 producing maximum power with a minimum of effort.

01:30 [music]

01:34 Because of the limitless, uncharted expanse of water, the ancient mariner oft times found himself far, far out at sea,

01:44 with only the stars to guide him.

01:47 Star light, star bright, glasher, wish I knew where I was tonight.

01:53 [music]

02:00 Swiftly and surely the stars steered him on to his destination.

02:05 [music]

02:08 In the 13th century, even as today, great thinkers worried about what shape the world was in.

02:16 Some great minds firmly believed that if you sailed west far enough,

02:21 [music]

02:26 you would sail off the edge of the world.

02:30 [music]

02:38 From the earliest days, sailors were preyed upon by pirates.

02:45 In those romantic days, ships often changed captains very suddenly.

02:51 This colorful ceremony was called rocking the plank or feeding the shark.

02:57 [music]

03:00 Hey, bells, come and get it.

03:04 [music]

03:10 When old father Neptune went on the rampage,

03:13 [music]

03:24 for safety's sake, sailors would latch themselves to the mast.

03:29 [music]

03:31 Thus the sailor was able to stick to his post through hail and high water.

03:37 [music]

03:39 The flag is the sign language of the sea.

03:43 Sailors could communicate with each other by semaphoring and wig wagging.

03:48 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R,

03:56 [mumbling]

03:59 He wigged what he should have wagged.

04:03 [music]

04:10 The happy, carefree sailor expressed himself with a horn pipe,

04:15 traditional dance of the sea.

04:17 [music]

04:18 Hauling in rope, hoisting sail,

04:21 [music]

04:23 rowing,

04:24 [music]

04:28 lookout,

04:29 [music]

04:32 lookout,

04:33 [music]

04:36 [screaming]

04:38 [splash]

04:39 [music]

04:40 Ah, the clipper ship.

04:43 The queen of the seven seas.

04:46 The heyday of sail.

04:48 Iron man.

04:50 [splash]

04:51 [music]

04:52 Wooden ships.

04:55 Through centuries of practice, the sailor has developed a perfect set of sea legs.

05:01 [music]

05:07 A sailor is easily recognized by his walk.

05:11 Oh, knots.

05:14 Who should know how to tie knots better than the sailor?

05:17 He invented them.

05:18 The square knot.

05:20 The sheep shank.

05:22 [sheep bleating]

05:24 The granny knot.

05:27 A very interesting knot.

05:28 Bears great strength.

05:31 [laughing]

05:32 The slip knot.

05:33 Now the barrel knot.

05:35 Most slip proof of all.

05:37 [music]

05:39 Take it away!

05:41 [music]

05:43 [splash]

05:44 This explains why sailors are often called old tars.

05:49 [music]

05:51 And now, through trial and error, the sailor has at last mastered the sea.

05:57 A far cry indeed from his early ancestors to the modern scientific mariner of today.

06:04 [music]

06:11 All hands, man battle stations, stand by to attack.

06:16 Hey! Stand by to attack!

06:18 [music]

06:22 Ready?

06:23 [music]

06:25 [splash]

06:26 Aim.

06:29 Fire!

06:30 [music]

06:38 [explosion]

06:39 [music]
