This film is of holiday footage of Whitby taken by railway enthusiast and filmmaker Chris Lawson . The film opens with a fishing boat, going out to sea and another, the 'Esk' dredging the harbour. A small tour boat goes past. From one of the concrete piers at Whitby a shot follows of another boat (LT387) going past and out to sea, a smaller boat passes it on the way out. The dredger leaves the harbour and goes out to sea, presumably to dump the waste. A long view shows a group of people looking out to sea from a grassy promontory. The film then cuts to a view across the town to the abbey on the opposite cliff. On board a tour boat the camera looks out to a ship in the distance. A closer view shows another boat alongside, the rails on the deck of the larger vessel festooned with flags. The larger vessel maybe a naval ship, the boat with the camera man onboard makes a full circuit around the ship and then heads back to the harbour, with a view of the ship receding as it returns. The boat makes its way past the harbour piers and the harbour light.  The film ends with high angle view of the entrance to Whitby harbour, which pans left along one of the piers.
