Ocean Terminal (1952)
Southampton, a deep-water port with four tides a day, is an ocean terminal for the world's largest liners.

Among them are a tug skipper and his crew, a stewardess on a Cape ship, an assistant wharfinger in charge of handling baggage and freight, a taxi driver, and a pilot taking a great liner down Southampton water at night.
