Summary
BFI Summary - An item on ferries and the different ports they go to. A cross-channel ferry backs into a berth, and passengers and cars disembark. General views are shown of the following European cities: Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, an unidentified Rhineland town and Heidelberg. Passengers at Dover board the ferry the "Lord Warden", and there are shots of the engine and propellors. The ferry pulls out of port, and there are scenes of passengers on dock, the crew, dining room, bar and engine room.
