It's actually smaller than I imagined.

It was much smaller than modern cruise ships 🛳️

That's what I was subconciously comparing it to.

It's prob the lens tho.

It always bugs me how old footage seems to be sped up by 2x. It gives everything almost a comedic feeling.

We know the frame rate of the old cameras right, cant we just play the footage back at the correct frame rate?

I set the playback speed on this video to 50% and the video looks a lot more natural. ( also had to mute the obnoxious music :D )

besides my complains though its an interesting video
