Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: A Busy Day. DESCRIPTION: Vancouver, Canada’s chief outlet to the Pacific and the Far East, has a fine, natural deep-water harbour. And, with over sixty shipping lines operating from it, every day’s a busy day for the harbour tugs. It’s astonishing what these tugs can handle: coal, pulp, lumber, log rafts, and, of-course, the everyday job of helping to berth the big ships that come in. SHOTLIST: Pan view of Vancouver Harbour.
