With dedicated skipper Harry Westley on board, the Palbro Pride, a smaller coaster, journeys from Yarmouth Quay up the River Yare to Norwich. Skipper, Harry, narrates throughout as the vessel, owned by J.T. Palmer of Gravesend, carries cargo, some 250 tons of soyabean meal for animal feed, along the route arriving at Norwich where the old swing bridge opens, the boat is moored, and cargo unloaded by crane grab.
