Curator’s clip description

A panoramic shot of the seaside resort town of Mornington in the 1920s. We see the beach, cars parked along the wharf and boats.

Curator’s notes

This clip is one panning shot taken from a high vantage point. Starting with an intertitle to tell us what we’re looking at, the camera pans slowly from a view of the beach, revealing sailing boats and the main wharf.
