Vintage Ferry Boat With American Flag And Cars On Deck — Clip Details

Vintage 8mm footage from 1964 captures a ferry boat on a calm river under a clear blue sky. The clip shows the vessel's white pilothouse with red railings, an American flag and another banner flying atop the mast. Cars are visible on the lower deck, and the name "COLSAC" is partially visible on the cabin. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color saturation, and slight motion blur, offering authentic mid-century Americana footage of transportation and leisure.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Useful for 1960s U.S. transportation, river crossing, and Midwestern travel edits needing authentic 8mm home-movie ferry footage.
Period detail: The car ferry, mid-century automobiles, painted pilothouse, flags, and 8mm color stock support the 1964 Wisconsin setting in the supplied metadata.
Home-movie behavior: The clip has a visitor-shot feel, watching a ferry approach and then studying its pilothouse and car deck from nearby rather than staging action.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include a ferry boat, white pilothouse, red railings, American flag, dark secondary flag, cars on deck, river water, and wooded shoreline.
Film character: The footage shows saturated 8mm color, soft focus, handheld framing, gate edges, and mild exposure variation that read as original home-movie texture.
Edit role: An editor could use it as a transportation insert, regional travel cutaway, river-crossing transition, or mid-century Americana memory beat.
Historical context: The frames show a small public ferry carrying cars across calm water, suggesting everyday regional mobility and leisure travel without broader claims.
Research note: Visible people, vessel markings, flags, and identifiable cars may require likeness, trademark, and property review separate from film copyright licensing.
Research search match: Searches may include 1964 Wisconsin ferry, vintage 8mm car ferry, American flag ferry boat, mid-century river crossing, and home movie transportation footage.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with adjacent shots from the same reel, then other Wisconsin 1964 travel footage, then ferry, river, car travel, and small-town transportation themes.
