To check that the quadrant template is properly mounted on the stick, you should find someplace with a clear horizon and sight the stick toward the distant horizon; it should then read zero, since 0 degree is indeed the altitude of the horizon.
Another possible sources of systematic error with the quadrant is fastening the protractor section to the straw at an angle or not hanging the string from the proper spot.

 Echoes of the Past - Neil McDonald - Quadrant Magazine
Joining him and his crew are two survivors from the sinking, which enables Cameron to film their reactions at memorial services for HMS Hood and the Bismarck.
What is interesting is Cameron and his team's argument that it was because Sir John Tovey on the King George V had gone in so close - a courageous move given the Hood's fate - that his shells were landing on the Bismarck's superstructure, not the hull.
This is why he was forced to signal HMS Dorsetshire: "Can't sink her with gunfire - use torpedoes", before breaking off the action, as the fleet was dangerously low on fuel and U-boats were expected in the area.
