Shot on 8mm film in 1971, this vintage home movie captures a large ocean liner docked at Long Beach, California. The iconic white and black vessel, adorned with a string of colorful signal flags, sits at the pier under a hazy sky. Palm trees frame the right side of the view, emphasizing the Southern California setting. The footage, with its characteristic film grain and soft color palette, offers a nostalgic glimpse of mid-century maritime travel and port life.
