Shot on 8mm film in 1975, this vintage home movie captures a steam-powered tugboat named Minerva navigating calm waters. The black-and-white footage shows the vessel both at rest and underway, with its tall smokestack emitting dark plumes as it moves. The grainy, slightly faded quality of the Super 8 film adds authentic archival texture. The boat's name is clearly visible on the bow, and the scene is framed by the natural borders of a film projector, enhancing its nostalgic, personal-movie feel. This clip offers a rare glimpse into mid-20th century maritime life in Venice, Italy.
