A young couple come up the gangway onto the ship, the woman smiles and speaks with the person behind the camera. Two young men come up the gangway doffing their hats as they pass.
On deck the couple and several young men laugh together. A portrait of a group made up of two women and fourteen men. They laugh and jokes around happily for the camera, portrait shots of some of the young men and the woman who all appear to be speaking with the person holding the camera.
A crowd gathers on the quayside as some of those seen previously, including the young woman, leave the ship. They gather on the quayside to say goodbye to their friends.
