"Winsor (sic) McCay" - the "sic" is unnecessary, as Winsor McCay is the correct spelling of the man's name.
Reducing the clip's current date range of 1915-18, the cartoon was released in America on 20 July 1918.
"The German Submarine U-39 launches two torpedoes" - although this may have been the belief at the time, it is now accepted that actually just one torpedo was fired, and that the submarine responsible was U-20.
