It is fascinating and priceless to actually be on board the ship via the movie. You've made my day, and I can’t thank you enough. I’m going to keep my eye on Turner’s Classic Movies schedule for the next time this film is shown.
Thanks also for the photo and name of the equipment that is used for loading grain. I have no excuse now for getting my book written. Thank you again.

Glad to help.
