Shot on 8mm film in 1954, this vintage home movie captures a hazy view of the Staten Island Ferry sailing across Lower Manhattan Bay. The footage, framed by the dark edges of a window or viewfinder, shows the ferry moving from left to right, its hull marked with 'MARINE & AVIATION'. In the distance, the Verrazano Bridge appears as a faint silhouette through the mist. The image is soft, grainy, and slightly blurred, with visible film scratches and a blueish tint characteristic of mid-century home movies. This archival clip offers a nostalgic glimpse of New York City's transportation and skyline in the 1950s.
