Frebelle II Motor Yacht, Trip from Ostend to West Mersea in Essex C1932, F981

Some 9,5mm amateur film from 1932 I think showing the MV Frebelle II taking a trip from Ostend to her home moorings at West Mersea Essex. This Motor Vessel was 60ft and 44 grt. She was built and launched by J. N. Miller of Fife in 1928. The owner at this time, Mr Herbert J. Hines (possibly of Aldham Essex), acquire the Yacht in 1932 and was no longer the keeper by 1938.

Interestingly all three Frebelle's we made at the same builders, with the third going on to be Sir Malcolm Campbells vessel, and went on to distinguish itself at Dunkirk.

This is frame by frame digitised from the original film (not in brilliant condition). The original film-maker is not known.
