About this footage
Boats and harbors fill much of this footage. Cargo ships pass with tugboats, small craft sit moored in sunlit marinas, men cast long rods from a pier and from crowded boat decks, and a white lighthouse stands at the end of a jetty. Many shots look out through a window or porthole. On one dock, a boy holds up a large fish beside two adults.
One reel is labeled "disneyland," and the set includes theme-park scenes: four white horses harnessed to a stagecoach, a mining-cart ride run by men in cowboy hats, a ride past a waterfall and through a rock tunnel, and tourists clowning with statues in a ghost town. A country singer with an electric guitar performs in front of a log cabin set.
Back home, a woman in a white dress cooks over a smoking backyard fire beside a hammock, and car-window shots follow palm-lined streets, single-story houses and the cranes of a fishing harbor. The harbor reels suit work on 1960s sport fishing and waterfront life.
