Description |
The film begins with a procession heading a royal visit in Shipley beside the Ashley textile mills, followed by scenes of a cricket match on the field. We are then shown a motorcar being lowered onto a cruise ship by a crane, as well as scenic shots of rapids and mountains. Aboard the ship, there are scenes of mingling passengers and a game of tennis; this is followed by aerial views of passing vessels, including the Warwick Castle ocean liner, and speedboats. The film ends with a ship docking, more onboard games and a family sightseeing. |
