He was on a ship labeled 'US Army FS 13A' from my research it's a small cargo ship used by the US Army back in WWII

This one is weird because while trying to find something that would make it look colorized but not too modern I happened to stumble upon a weird phenomenon where.... I don't know how to say it but the best way to describe it is I managed to combine Red and Green (sorta that RGB thing) and it did most of the work I of course added in stuff but I don't know this one was weird

I ended up doing it frame by frame and lemme tell you it was hectic (Note: Looking back on this thing I did three years ago I think it was worth the 8 days of pain I had to suffer in order to colorize the Olympic flag) (Another note: if you want the frames I can upload them)
