Arctic London (1929)

Little things in old film get my interest, like the vehicles passing each other on Tower Bridge. Some random moment in an anonymous life captured from a distance and being watched on something unthinkable like a pc 84 years later.

Usch, that kind of ice-buildup on a boat is really dangerous. Look for pictures of a arctic-adapted trawler (or a Canadian destroyer.) The forecastle is rounded for example, this is to prevent ice-buildup.

What amuses (unnerves) me is the lack of safety precautions back then - note the swinging of axes rather near their heads in cold and probably slippery conditions with no hard hats and no doubt no safety footwear, safety glasses or reinforced trousers:-)
