Absolutely fascinating! I also thought the background music was inappropriate and irritating, however on my second viewing I thought it was okay. Very soothing and retrospective and it bridges the gap between then and now. My grandparents from Brooklyn took this trip around this time (married in 1929) before my mother (may she rest in peace) was born in 1933. Thank you for posting this!
It's so different than it was when my family went in the sixties. How great it must have been to take a ship ride from Manhattan. We live in Elizabeth, spent a whole week. What great vacations those were. Disney world opened in Florida, then things changed. Hey 95 wasn't even finished yet. Keansburg was great 👍 . We are all in our sixties now . I'll share this with family members. Thanks.
These films are great. But the selected background music is really irritating (especially with those incessant digital drum beats). Should've used time -appropriate music.
a fake intro with real footage, nicely done, possibly a college film project. i saw this ferry boat, rusting away, at City Island NY. in 1979. it was to have been converted into a restaurant and night spot - good luck with that idea !
Ugh.... the background music is so loud and annoying I can't watch the video how ridiculous. We edit the video without the music or some better time period music much quieter in the background otherwise stop posting
I agree. My first thought at seeing this. It was a different world. No Jews permitted at country clubs either. At least we have made progress since 1929 or 1930.
Who gives a crap. Everything is not about what color was there!!! Mayor Eric Adams of NYC stated he did not want white people from Ohio moving into Harlem. I guess to say that is OK!!
