I’ve watched this film a number of times and it never loses its charm. Many thanks for posting.

Magnificently filmed, sound edited, scripted and soundtracked. Historical artifact of the highest order. Men were fit and thin. You can see the productivity, but you can also see that containerisation would vastly lift productivity and lessen handling and manpower. Take my hat off to these blokes, men who knew WW2

Shipping containers changed all of this.

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

just like every "development" by the world wide corporatist bankers, calculated to make bigger faster profit with less investment in jobs.

A time when the Canal was used in practical way ....Not just to carry flesh round on holiday arguing saying....That is mine I was here first
