Whale Caught At Brighton (1920)

Brighton, Sussex. Intertitle: “A Finny Visitor. Huge Whale Thrasher succumbs to charms of famous sea side resort“. M/S of crowd of people, mainly men in flat caps, standing around a dead shark (looks like a basking shark, the intertitle describing it as a whale is gross exaggeration!). Some of the men try and lift the shark to show its belly to the camera, it is lying in a sticky black pool - probably its own blood (yuk!). FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
