Shot on 8mm film in 1951, this vintage home movie captures a rowing competition on a calm lake in Boston, Massachusetts. Two teams of rowers in long boats race side-by-side toward the finish line, their oars cutting through the water. The scene is viewed from a nearby boat, with a person’s head visible in the foreground. Trees and lakeside homes line the shore under a bright sky. The footage shows natural film grain and slight color fading, preserving the authentic look of mid-century amateur film.
