Shot on 8mm film in 1945, this vintage footage captures a sun-drenched coastal scene in France, where a large wooden boat lies partially submerged and tilted in the water. The purple-tinted film shows the vessel’s masts and hull broken, with debris floating nearby. The camera pans slightly, revealing a distant shoreline with trees and structures under a hazy sky. The grainy texture and color degradation are characteristic of wartime home movie footage, evoking a somber, historical mood. This archival clip offers a poignant glimpse into post-war maritime damage, suitable for documentaries, historical projects, or nostalgic content.
