Plot
A short comedy about a homemade boat that sinks.
Sinekatalog’s take
Buster Keaton's short comedy has a homemade boat launched with disastrous results. Inventive and precise, with memorable sinking gags, it is one of his best two-reelers and a gem of slapstick craftsmanship.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
