Shot on 8mm film in 1946, this vintage home movie captures a bustling waterfront in Bombay, India. The footage shows numerous wooden boats and barges crowded along the shore, some loaded with cargo like yellow barrels and covered goods. People are visible on the vessels, engaged in daily activity. In the background, a large grey building stands near the water under an overcast sky. The image has the characteristic grain and color palette of mid-century amateur film, offering a nostalgic glimpse into post-war Indian port life.
