3—' London River '. A. R. Woods , Pierman at the Tower Pier, talks about some of the ships he has known on London River since the days when the big four-masters bargained for a tug off Gravesend, and weighed anchor with a shanty-man squatting on the capstan head. Bradbridge White and the BBC Men's Chorus, conducted by Trevor Harvey , sing the shanties, and Reg Manus accompanies on the accordeon.
