This video of the S.T. Crapo locking through at Sault Saint Marie takes place in June of 1928. Seen in the video, aside from the vessel herself, Is Mr. S.T. Crapo as well as his wife, daughter and three of her college friends.
The original film was fond by Mr. Crapo's great granddaughter, who had it digitized and shared the unedited product with me in order to have it posted on this site. The nearly century old film was shot with a hand-wound movie camera. Thus, it made the people look as if they were moving in fast motion. So, I had to slow it down to 47% of the original speed just to make it look normal and then use a computer trick to blend the motion. Each segment was in short bursts and when digitized it was out of sequence. I did my best to get it back into sequence, but there is still one shot that is misplaced... see if you can catch it. Additionally, the flashing of the movie played hell with my Magix video software. Shouting curse words at it for two days didn't really help... an adjustment in the "advanced" settings did.
