Shot on 8mm film in 1970, this vintage home movie captures an offshore oil rig under construction in the United Kingdom. The footage shows detailed views of the rig's steel framework, derrick, and support structures, with a helicopter flying nearby. The grainy, high-contrast black-and-white imagery transitions to a color sequence showing the completed rig in the ocean. This archival footage offers a rare glimpse into mid-20th century industrial engineering and offshore energy development.
