Starting at Ramsgate Harbour we see a variety of yachts, dinghies and commercial shipping. The film captures several interesting sights along its route. Sir Francis Chichester's famous yacht, Gypsy Moth IV, is seen in Ramsgate as well as a hovercraft leaving for France. On entering the Thames Estuary we see busy shipping lanes, towns, industrial sites before we sail through the city of London itself. Arriving at Richmond we get a rare glimpse of an Amphicar in action.
