BFI film Ramsgate to Richmond 1967.

Thought this might be of interest.

Anybody able to confirm whether the stopping off point was Holehaven rather than Queenborough (I've edited, did say Ramsgate, but meant Queenborough)?

thanks for bringing the film to my attention.
I saw ,... was it Deal? then folkstone
Ramsgate , queenbrough till teddington lock.

those ships and tugs, took me back to my childhood.

I thought Ramsgate, Sandwich, Ramsgate - but then was it Queenborough? Something didn't look right for me, wondered whether Holehaven (because I remember the boatyard discussions at Duntons & elsewhere re where to break the journey, and Holehaven used to be mentioned).

Def Queenborough.
Remarkable number of ships hove to at Gravesend.

I think that it was Queenborough rather than Holehaven as they appear to go past Garrison Point Fort at Sheerness.
