Seamans Church (1930)

No title. The Seamen s Bethel where those, who go down to the sea in ships are made to feel at home on Sundays. New Bedford, L, S of a building with a couple of cars parked outside. A sign over the door reads: Seamen s Bethel. A man stands in front of the building and moves towards the camera. The Skipper of the church, Chaplain Thurbur, shows the way through life s storms, from his masthead Short shot of the vicar who looks like he is preaching on a boat. Throwing out the life Low angle shot of the preacher who is standing up on top of the mast almost in the crows nest. It is quite funny He is preaching a sermon. Possibly the preacher is thinking of the rockbound coast of Bandonbythesea, (shot missing ) Where jagged rock tombstones grimly mark the graves of twenty ships wrecked in a dozen L, S of fierce waves crashing against rocks. Various shots of the sea. The rockbound coast intertitle is repeated as is the first intertitle.
