Chris, I've only recently found your channel and it's already one of my favourites. I find the procedure of the arrivals and departures so calming, and there is always a slight air of mystery... where have they been... where are they going?. You've pulled off a difficult trick, that of finding a new style of RUclips channel. I wish you all the best. Roger, in landlocked Leicestershire.
Thank you for a fab film. Was a passenger on 2 merchant ships over 20 years ago. One was the Shetland trader which i just saw on u tube where it is based in the Faroe islands . BEST holiday ever.
The River Severn pilots must be some of the most experienced in the world, their local knowledge and skill required to bring a ship into Sharpness and out again is immense. Many thanks for yet another great video!
Chris. Does Sharpness dock export any cargo OR is in imports only like many ports. I was on a 15,000 to Ro/Ro that sailed from Felixtowe and the only cargo we had was one American built tractor.
Thank you Chris. You have a knack of presenting hard work in a tranquil and calming way. Your choice of music too, is relaxing.
Thank you Chris for yet another brilliantly shot, edited and commentated film.
The music is similarly impressive too.
Best regards
Clive & Jill Field
Great pilot!

Very kind of you to say, makes it worthwhile for me to keep filming.
Once again a very enjoyable bit of filming. Super stuff Chris.
Many thanks Rob. Not much shipping at Sharpness this month!

I remember the Shetland Trader when she made regular runs to Sharpness, the days when I took still photographs only.
Beautifully filmed and narrated - thanks for all the hard work involved to share this with us.
My pleasure, so glad you enjoy my films.
Well presented Ship.
I agree, nice shade of blue
Great Music but makes me feel sad .
I know what you mean. Getting music to match the speed of the film tends to be of the sad kind!

Hi Julian, I agree, considering the difficulty in getting a ship into the port there are very few mishaps.
Hi what a lovely looking ship
Yes and kept smart too

Occasionally scrap metal is exported. Plus the odd cargo of grain.
Is the big grain silo at Sharpness in use?
