  • "HMS Andania" in the title and text should read RMS Andania was at the time of this filming an ocean cruiser for the Cunard line, rather than a navy vessel, (though it became an armed cruiser at the start of WWII).

    Reducing this clip's date range, the Andania didn't make its maiden voyage until 1922 - a date range of 1922-29 is therefore applicable.
