Documentary about the fishing trawler, "Isabella Grieg". We follow her from her base in Granton Harbour, in Edinburgh, right up the east coast of Edinburgh, up to the fishing grounds between Shetland and Norway.
The trawler "Isabella Grieg" was sunk in September, 1941, by a German bombing raid.
The sea was so rough off Shetland, that John Grierson found it almost impossible to shoot film there.
