Different times indeed.
The Swedish government created this informational video in 1964 on how to properly dispose of your trash when at sea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t03saJVFkv4. Apparently the trick is to make the trash sink rather than float.
People were doing it, at least make sure they do a good job.
You can also see in the video how much clearer the water was then. Very sad.
