Synopsis
Despondent on a dockside, a starving Sylvester spies Tweety through an ocean liner porthole and purrs, "Hello, breakfast!" Sylvester stows away on the ship to catch Tweety. Near-sighted Granny is also on board, and she'll teach him "to molest helpless little birdies." Her glasses are an element here. If Sylvester can keep them away from Granny, he can get at the bird. Tweety tries to cure Sylvester's seasickness with "a nice, juicy piece of salt pork."

Production notes
When a seasick Sylvester dashes into the ship's infirmary, remedies on the shelves include a bottle of "Hawley & Pratt" (Hawley Pratt was this cartoon's layout artist).
Sylvester hums "A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You" while rooting through the garbage.
Final line (said simultaneously by Tweety and Granny at the ship's helm): "You did, you did see a puddy tat!"
In September of 1943, beginning with A Feud There Was, Warner Bros. began re-releasing select color cartoons in their "Blue Ribbon" program. Typically the Blue Ribbon reissues received new opening sequences with Blue Ribbon title cards and standardized music. Cartoon production credits were also removed. Between ten and fifteen cartoons were released in any given year, with cartoons coming from as far back as 1935. The reissues continued until the close of the studio in the 1960's.
All Blue Ribbon cartoons were released as "Merrie Melodie" cartoons regardless of the original series. The first "Looney Tunes" short to be included in the Blue Ribbon series was The Hep Cat, which was added in 1949. The only current prints of many of these cartoons are the Blue Ribbon releases, although restoration of these cartoons with original elements and titles is always ongoing.
