| Description: | "Germany. Get in front and stay there! is the only way to win the desperate contest for the 'Blue Riband of the Elbe' - open to all the Hamburg's harbour craft." Hamburg, Germany. Various shots of Hamburg's riverboat regatta. Lots of small motorboats and harbor craft sail up the river. Some larger boats are also on the River and there is much tooting of boat horns. The large bridge across the Elbe is clearly visible in the background, this may be the Elbe Bridge completed in 1872. Not clear whether it is a race or simply a chance for the boats to sail up the Elbe. | |
