A couple of Sealink ferry ships in Weymouth Harbour in the early 1970s together with some footage of a train being walked through the town on the Weymouth Tramway. Shot on 16mm Kodachrome. The ferries were probably on the run to the Channel Islands, Guernsey and Jersey.

Not "early 1970s", but 1976 or later. At 0:25, Weymouth lifeboat 54-04 Tony Vandervell first arrived in Weymouth in 1976, and Caledonian Princess's extra ugly passenger lounge on the boat deck aft (notable at 0:39) together with enclosing the open deck below it, was added during her Immingham refit in April 1976, so this was filmed after May 10th 1976 when Cally P arrived in Weymouth from Immingham. The port sidelight screens on both ships are still red: someone who knows when the rules changed these from red to black will be able to narrow the date to before that change.

Sarnia last sailed from Weymouth on May 24th 1978 (Channel Islands' Railway Steamers by Kevin le Scelleur) after being sold to become Aquamart, so this film was made between May 10th 1976 and May 24th 1978. However, Sarnia has passengers aboard in the film, and the same book records that her last call to Guernsey was an excursion on September 10th 1977, further narrowing the date window.
