More about this scene
This is Main Bay, which changed its name to Viking Bay following the arrival in 1949 of a replica Viking ship, the Hugin. This ship was built to celebrate the 1500th anniversary of the landing of Hengist and Horsa and the incursions into Britain of the Anglo- Saxons and Danes. The boat had been rowed to Broadstairs from Denmark.
