A family film showing the travels of the schooner Elver, her owner V.B. Harrison, crew and guests. Elver was a familiar sight on the Blackwater throughout the 1930s, with moorings at West Mersea. Part one of two, the film shows ‘Elver’ at the yacht club and continues with adventures, including the ride to Hoek Van Holland, a visit to Burnham for the ‘Sunk Race’ and to the Ostend race at Brightlingsea. The film concludes with the mooring of Elver "for the duration of the war".
