The Port of Alexandria Title Card and Steamship on... — Clip Details

Vintage 8mm film footage from Cairo, Egypt, in 1946, showing a title card for 'The Port of Alexandria' with text detailing British surveys from 1857 to 1858. The clip features a blue-tinted, grainy title card with a circular emblem at the top, followed by a distant view of a large steamship on the Mediterranean Sea, emitting smoke from its stacks. The film exhibits classic Super 8 characteristics including scratches, dust, and soft focus, capturing a nostalgic moment of mid-20th century maritime history and archival documentation.
