Description

Views of work on the construction and launch of a number of boats at the Yarwood's of Northwich boatyard. Boats including the 'Trefoil' and Hopper No. 4 are launched sideways into the river. Men are seen at work assembling platework and fastening it to the ribs of the hull. Also seen are liners including the Queen Mary in dock, and boats on a river (probably built by Yarwood's).
