From Educational Film Catalog (1939):
"On taking a boat trip from Albany, down the Hudson River to New York, Nancy and Roger have many exciting adventures. Between seeing the sights along the shore, inspecting the different parts of
the boat, and observing the different types of boats which ply the river, their time is fully occupied. A landing at a river town, the approach to New York City, and the many wonders of its harbor are climaxed by seeing a great ocean liner assisted from its dock by tug-boats to begin its journey across the Atlantic."

Subject: Boats!!!!
Subject: Boats!!!!
In the incredibly imaginatively titled 'Boats', we see two kids, named Roger and Nancy, troop up and down the ferry boat they are on which is crossing the Hudson and not only see other boats on the water, but visit the other people who run the ferry they are on as well. In what would now get you thrown on the floor and arrested for a breach of ship secuirity, we see Roger and Nancy wander into the navigation room to visit the captain, The kids talk in this VERY strange accent, (cockney perhaps?) and bubbily ask the captain what he does. The captain reccomends the kids check out the engine room to see the engineer at work. Are these the only two people on board?
