Steam and sail drifters entering the harbour. The first shot on the Quay shows ranks of drifters, with fisher girls walking arm-in-arm. There are swills (fish baskets) in the background. Other girls are shown knitting as they walk. Men are shown on board a drifter sorting out a catch and there follow scenes of unloading. Girls carry swills and are seen barrelling herring for export. The film finishes with shots of the fisher girls gutting herring.
