BBC feature focusing on Zeebrugge's role in the two World Wars followed by a look at Zeebrugge's local speciality dish, shrimps.

Jean Goodman narrates over footage of Felixstowe port and the Belgian Port of Zeebrugge. Goodman explains the Zeebrugge memorial to the World War I U-boat campaign and later, stills of engravings and paintings of the operation from the Zeebrugge War Museum are shown. A Belgian man gives an account of the same operation. A second Belgian man (b.1928) then gives his account, and also remembers Zeebrugge later as a boy during World War II - people couldn't leave their homes without a pass. At school he engaged in `boy resistance' which included cutting telephone wires and driving a German lorry into a canal. Shots of the Belgian port. Goodman talks about the shrimp market, the largest in Western Europe. Footage of shrimp boats and a shrimp auction. Goodman goes into a fish restaurant, the proprietor shows her a delicacy - a Canadian lobster; the cost is 700 Belgian francs or £8 per head; Goodman orders shrimps. The final shot is of Goodman walking on a beach.
