I just re-read Man in the High Castle which was written/takes place in the 60s.

One of the characters wants to know the name of the naval vessel that is currently in port in San Francisco. To do this, he has to call the local newspaper office on a telephone and ask them. Then they call him back with the answer.

Many parts of the book are anachronistic (because in this alternate reality, the Nazis are colonizing Mars), but I believe that part was accurate because I don't know how else you could get that information.
