Mystery Photograph No: 2

The photograph below is the legendary Visual Effects supervisor John P. Fulton in his waders (not to mention jacket and tie) in a tank with a model ship. Does anybody know what film this is from? I have looked through his IMDB entry but cannot seem to match a title to this photo. Any clues or suggestions please use the comment system and thanks in advance.

Sea Of Lost Ships 1953

This was a Republic picture and so is interesting to the miniature buff solely because the visual effects were by the Lydeckers, Howard and Theodore.

For a reel of more of their visual effects mostly collected from the Republic Serials there is a great compile on YouTube;

For this film they did a ship wedged on an iceberg and its subsequent freeing. According to IMDB, there is also some stock footage (which may well be the night miniature shots at the start of the movie) from the 1934 movie "Whom the Gods Destroy".

Reap the Wild Wind 1942

Won best visual effects at the 15th Academy awards in 1943.

Gordon Jennings and his team deliver some well staged rough weather miniature ship effects in technicolor. There is also a mechanical giant squid creature that although state of the art for 1942 seems a bit comical today.

Typical for the period, the miniatures would have been shot before the live action to provide the numerous rear process screen backgrounds for the shipboard scenes.
