And That Is That. How to Plant a Mooring Buoy, in a series of difficult lessons by Coast Guard Buoy Tender, LAUREL. The last of the three ten-ton anchors, which are to hold securely the mooring buoy and the ships tied up to it, is about to take its appointed place on the bottom.

Note: These scenes of Coast Guard action are laid in a Greenland Fjord.
