        Saved by a Motor Lifeboat!

        A dramatised appeal film for the Royal Naval Lifeboat Institution, filmed at Whitby.

        Charity appeal 1924 16 mins Silent

        Overview

        This rather impressive dramatised appeal film for the Royal Naval Lifeboat Institution was filmed at Whitby. It includes some impressive offshore cinematography – some of it tinted marine blue. Look out also for the scene of first aid being administered (at about 13:30): the shadow of the cameraman, cranking his camera, appears in the shot.
