Summary

COI synopsis: London dockworkers pictured against daily activities at the Port of London. The film shows something of the pride taken by the docker in his work and in his native River Thames; the kind of duties he is called upon to perform amidst the busy life of commerce, ships and cargoes, and the social and welfare services available to him and his family.
