Shot on 8mm film in 1971, this vintage home movie captures a large white tugboat navigating a frozen river in Wisconsin. The vessel, labeled 'AMERICA TRANSPORTATION COMPANY', pushes a long line of barges through icy waters, surrounded by snow-covered banks and bare winter trees. The footage, viewed through a window frame, shows the boat moving slowly across the frozen river under a pale blue sky, with distant hills visible in the background. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 film enhances the nostalgic, archival feel of this winter transportation scene.
