Summary

Pathe synopsis: From majesty in the air to majesty at sea. At Southampton docks we find the world’s largest passenger liner, "The Queen Elizabeth", preparing for another Atlantic crossing. Yet on days oie this, it is the diminutive tug that becomes the centre of attraction with an energy and efficiency belying its appearance. For it is with these tiny vessels that rests the responsibility of a safe departure.
