The Daily Life of a French Sailor (1907)
The first view is that of the entire French sea-dog, Joan of Arc. The first idea of the tars' work is given as they tumble out of their hammocks, and deposit them in the locker. Very quickly they wash, several gathering around a tub at once, and then the decks are mopped. After their wet clothes are hung on a line, the men go to exercise, running, work on the horizontal bar, foot calisthenics and hand-balancing by some. Then they line up for mess, and after receiving their rations settle about in groups. This done with they, demonstrate the manner of loading guns of all sizes, the entire process being gone through up to the depositing of the huge shells. The next view is that of a sixteen-oared boat manned by a crew of tars, tearing away from the ship, and then cutting the water on a trip back again. The men are next seen lined up on the forward deck in their regulation togs; several officers pass between the straight lines and inspect the jackies, after which they march away. The last picture is another view of the big battleship under way.
