More about this scene
Here we see an unusual launch with a streamlined design entering Goring Lock. During the early part of the 20th century, the boat-building firm of Samuel Saunders took over Goring wharf. They moved to Cowes during the 1920s where they operated under the name of Saunders-Roe, who later went on to make flying boats.
