Shot as if from another vessel on a stormy rolling sea the modest miniature effects are mostly quite effective in this film. The salvage tugs and ship miniatures are quite detailed in the stormy rescue sequence. curiously the last couple of shots of the tow back to port, the ship suddenly seems like a undetailed cardboard mock up. The first shot of the Salvage tug we see after the title appears to be a photo cutout composited on a shot of the water and mountain background. There is no interaction between the hull and the water surface whatsoever.
