Lake View With Ferry And Tree-Covered Landmass — Clip Details

Shot on 8mm film in 1964, this vintage home movie captures a serene view of Washington Island, Wisconsin, from a moving boat. The clip opens with a wide shot of a tree-covered landmass extending into calm, rippling water under a soft, overcast sky. The film’s characteristic grain and color saturation evoke a nostalgic, archival feel. The final frame reveals the ferry C.G. RICHTER at a dock, with passengers boarding, offering a glimpse into mid-century island transportation and daily life. This authentic 8mm footage is ideal for documentaries, historical projects, or nostalgic content.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: 1960s 8mm home-movie footage for productions needing Washington Island water views, ferry travel, or Midwestern lake transportation inserts.
Period detail: The ferry name C.G. Richter, 8mm color stock, dockside passengers, and simple railings may show mid-1960s island travel details.
Home-movie behavior: The clip has a visitor-shot boat perspective, moving from distant shoreline views to an unposed dockside ferry moment with passengers visible.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include rippling lake water, a tree-covered landmass, overcast sky, boat-window edges, a dock, ferry stern, railings, and boarding passengers.
Film character: The footage carries soft 8mm grain, muted color, slight exposure variation, and handheld framing that preserve the home-movie viewing texture.
Edit role: An editor could use it as a lake-travel establishing insert, ferry cutaway, geographic transition, or reflective memory beat.
Historical context: The visible scene documents leisure or local transit around Washington Island without making claims beyond boat travel, shoreline, and ferry activity.
Research note: People and the named ferry are visible, so likeness, trademark or vessel identification, and separate copyright clearance should be reviewed.
Research search match: Researchers may match this to searches for 1964 Washington Island 8mm footage, Wisconsin ferry dock, Lake Michigan island travel, or vintage home movies.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with same-reel Washington Island material, then other 1964 Wisconsin lake or ferry scenes, then broader mid-century island travel footage.
