VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an article page with a black and white photograph at the top, titled "Filming in the Inner Hebrides. " The photo depicts a scene from the filming of Michael Balcon's production "The Maggie, " set on location in Scotland. In the foreground, crew members are seen aboard one of two puffers—small steamboats used for transporting goods—that were hired for use in the film. They appear to be actively engaged in their tasks, possibly preparing for a shot or moving equipment. The text below provides context about how this Ealing Studios' picture was filmed entirely on location in Scotland, including remote areas like the Isle of Islay. It mentions that these puffers ply their trade carrying coal, sand, cement, bricks among other heavy cargo through waterways from Glasgow to various islands and isolated communities. The boats have flat bottoms allowing them to land where other crafts cannot reach. One boat named 'The Boer, ' which played itself under another name during filming due to its historical significance as one of the last survivors of its kind after World War II damage risked extinction for many similar vessels. Another vessel called 'The Spartan' served as both a camera ship and when necessary acted as 'a double' for 'The Maggie. ' Overall, this image captures a moment during an ambitious outdoor film shoot that relied heavily on authentic locations and local transportation methods unique to Scottish coastal life.
