- Summary
- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Simon Bolivar Disaster. DESCRIPTION: Survivors from the Dutch liner which hit a German mine arrive in London. Some of the children have been orphaned. SHOTLIST: Stills of the ship. Shots of police shepherding the crowds back and guarding the survivors. Miss June Trestreill is one of them as is Cyril Gomez. The Dutch Minister Michel van Verduynen and his wife are there. One small survivor is Sally Marriott. Four British survivors pose. The chief engineer L Veltman is in hospital. The shot of the ship actually sinking is an old library shot - original condition apparently not good.
