Corrected entry: Albert says that the navy never taught him navigation because he was a boiler maintenance man. But, on other occasions, he has reminisced about times when he was at the wheel, which seems like an odd position for a boiler maintenance man.

Corrected entry: When Casandra sees the photo of the first jolly boy's outing, she very quickly recognises Grandad even though she never met him. Even if she'd seen a few old photos, she still couldn't have recognised a younger Grandad.
Correction: There is no reason why Cassandra should not have recognised Grandad, people's apperances don't change that much and also we don't know that Rodney hasen't shown other photos of Grandad to Cassandra. So it's not really a plot hole.

Correction: It's not really a plot hole, just all part of the comedy. If Albert was not taught navigation then that is probably why all the ships he sailed on sank! We don't ask why he was at the wheel.
