- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: A Dutch idea has been imported at King’s Lynn to improve the navigation channels on the River Ouse. Using Norfolk reed and willow, a gang of twenty men weave a huge Kon-Tiki raft on the river’s edge. Then comes the tricky part, towing it down the estuary and sinking it with rocks to provide a firm base for a four-mile sea-wall.
