Shot on 8mm film in 1964, this vintage home movie captures a family aboard a ferry or boat, with the New York City skyline visible in the distance. Passengers, including a man in a cap and a woman in a light blouse, stand and sit near the railing, gazing out over the water. The footage features the characteristic grain and color shift of Super 8 film, with a hazy purple tint in the cityscape shots. The clip offers a nostalgic glimpse of mid-century urban travel and family life, with the iconic Chrysler Building faintly visible through the haze.
