A.1. At Lloyd's / Cargo Shipping - 1942 British Council Film Collection - CharlieDeanArchives

The Lloyd's signal station depicted is still standing today at The Lizard, Cornwall.

The S.S. Armadillo that features in this film appears to be fictionalised. There was, however, an actual S.S. Armadillo, a much smaller steam ferry which operated on the River Tamar, and the American USS Armadillo (IX-111), built shortly after this film was released.
This film has been made available by the British Council Film Collection for non-commercial research and educational purposes . . The British Council Film Collection consists of 120 short documentaries made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played.
