This film is number 112 in the Star Film catalogue, making it one of the first films and one of the first so-called “newsreels”, as the director called them. Although shot entirely in the studio, it attempts to convey to the viewer the feelings that were probably experienced by a passenger on a boat between Calais and Dover. The chaos on board is likely to remind us of early French slapstick. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
