Opening shot of a body of water, a smoking chimney, a partially sunken ship, what appears to be a shipyard. Camera moves closer to wreckage, the words ‘Smith Price’ are printed on a building to it’s right. A number of men work beside the wreck. Camera examines ship more closely, it’s vast chimney a focal point. Three men smoking pipes and cigars wave their hats at the camera. They are walking on the side of the wrecked ship. They run to the highest point of the wreckage, and then carefully walk back down. Camera follows the line of a mast all the way to it’s uppermost point. Shots of the wreckage from different angles. A moving shot of the shipyard.
