This atmospheric film from A D Orpet captures scenes on a wintry Brighton when an unexpected visitor hits the beach. Crowds of sightseers on the beach witness the Athina B's stranding on the shingle. We see the stern and rudder assembly out of the water. With the pier in the background we get a higher view from the promenade before returning to the beach for views of the stricken ship's bow. All the while cars and people crowd the beach and the roads nearby.
