"To obtain needed scenes of a German submarine on patrol during the World "War, Montagu Pictures at Newcastle built a U-boat model out of wood in a nearby field, carted it to the seaside and then waited for the rising tide to launch it. The model was used in filming the climactic sequences of North Sea, the current production of this unit under the leadership of A. G. Greaves, ACL. The story, which was written by Stephen Arthur, is being directed and photographed by Mr. Greaves and will feature in leading parts Althea Laws, Douglas Sneddon and F. W. Wearmouth. Unusual publicity has been given the film in the local press." (Moore 453)
"Northsea, a story of submarines and intrigue during the World War and one of the most ambitious dramatic productions ever to come to the attention of this department, has been successfully completed and given a distinguished public screening, according to the reports of Arthur G. Greaves, ACL. It is a production of Montagu Pictures, of Newcastleon-Tyne, and was photographed by Mr. Greaves under the direction of Fred S. Wearmouth in association with Stephen Arthur and Jack Dunn. A number of Northumbrian coastal fishermen, some with previous film experience in Huntingtower, a production by Sir Harry Lauder, played in the Montagu film." (Moore 429)
