Synopsis

For a giant bulk carrier or a modest fishing boat, running aground on the razor sharp beauty of the Great Barrier Reef can mean disaster both for the vessels and the coral. The officers and crew of the Cape ships have been charged with the duty of protecting sea traffic here by maintaining navigational aids such as lighthouses and beacon buoys. A portrait of men and their ship.
