The name of the ship the Stooges aboard is the S.S. Schickelgruber, an obvious reference to Maria Anna Schicklgruber, the paternal grandmother of Hitler who gave birth to Hitler's father out of wedlock.
Terry, the dog on the ship, also played Toto, the dog in The Wizard Of Oz (1939).
Al Thompson appears in a dual role; first, he plays one of the German sailors, and again later one of the German officers.
In this short, sound effect accompanies an eye-poke for the first time.
It is interesting to note that at the start of this short, Sally Cairns who played Moe's girlfriend, was obviously very uncomfortable having to kiss Moe. She is shown wiping her mouth for about 15 seconds after the kiss, the only one of the three girlfriends to do so.
