Comment of the day!!! I suppose enough class was still around in the 60s to make the “Death Yacht” unacceptable.

It does look more like a luxury barge than a yatch.

Being stuck on a yacht with 1500 social-climbers and drunk arseholes sounds like one of Dante’s levels of hell

I don’t know. I found it when I googled “cannon firing gif” or something similar to that. Looks pretty realistic.
