What happens

Turn of the Tide is a 1935 British drama film directed by Norman Walker and starring John Garrick, Geraldine Fitzgerald and Wilfrid Lawson. It was the first feature film made by J. Arthur Rank. Lacking a distributor for his film, Rank set up his own distribution and production company which subsequently grew into his later empire. The film contains many Whitby registered boats (WY) and contains much documentary-style footage of making and repairing lobster creels. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
