- Synopsis:
The River Humber is one of Britain's great waterways, a teeming thoroughfare for trade and transport; a formidable adversary for sailor and boat a like, as it has been for centuries. In the 1970's local film-maker John Howard and keen sailor began filming his exploration of the River Humber as the great columns of the Humber Bridge were going up and the slow demise of the fishing ports of Hull and Grimsby were beginning to gather pace.
