Монтрёй
The film was filmed outside in the garden of Méliès's property in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis, with painted scenery. The rolling motion of the ship was created by a special articulated platform, built by Méliès for "Sea Fighting in Greece" the same year. The placard "Robert-Houdin Star Line" refers to Méliès's Théâtre Robert-Houdin as well as to the trademark for his film business, "Star Film". The set of the film also includes a trademark with the initials "M.R.," referring to Méliès and Lucien Reulos, a colleague who was then Méliès's business partner.
