This film shows the beauty of Hawaii over 116 years ago! This is a compilation of vintage film footage by the Thomas Edison film company in 1906. Among other you can watch the relaxed life of a fishing community, everyday life on ranches, native Hawaians arriving and leaving a "Luau" party, spended views of Oahu and the town of Honolulu, including Waikiki beach, as well as great beach scenes.
The film footage has been motion-stabilized, speed-corrected, enhanced and colorized by means of Artificial Intelligence video software.
Music: Gerard Franklin.
Notes: We tried to find copyright free Hawaiian music, but failed (RU-vid rejected everything we tried). So there was no other option than to use nice neutral music from contemporary composers.
And yes, everybody in this film is dead and there are no obese, fat people in this film (just to pre-empt some of the usual comments). Please make interesting, educational comments about how Hawaii was at the beginning of the last century, preferably with the mentioning of lesser known (historic) facts about these beautiful islands. That will really make the comments section enjoyable to read!
If possible, kindly also refrain from starting an inflamatory debate about how the US annexed the Hawaiian islands. Thank you.
I hope you will enjoy this film. The original B&W footage was far from being in high quality: lots of visual noise, damage and overall motion-instability. Nevertheless the A.I. has done quite a good job.

Rick, thanks as ever for your work in bringing these to YT. I appreciate your introductory comment to pre-empt the eejits. Unfortunately, the xenophobes and those lacking a sense of perspective and historical context will always be drawn to these older films, peddling their banalities. However, please don't ever be disheartened by some of the noisier, less nuanced commentators to this channel - I'm sure the vast majority that never comment are aligned with, and approve of, your approach and underlying motivations.

I lived in Hawaii (Big Island and Oahu) for 10 years. It is indeed a beautiful land. And the local citizens are exquisite people. If you make friends with a Hawaiian, you have a brother or sister for life. But sadly much of it is now spoiled by hoards of drunks, junkies, meth heads, and punk gangsters from outside. You take a chance of getting robbed if you park at Walmart. It's much the same here where I live in Alaska. Just 30 years ago, Anchorage was a cool place to be. Not any more. Wonderful video of how it once was. These videos are totally amazing. Kind thanks for sharing them here for all to enjoy.

@lucaswa 21 день назад

The tourists and the hula girls just didn't make the cut. Visitors have been coming to Hawai'i since ... well, since people discovered Hawai'i could be visited. And yes, in that long history, the natives made themselves entertaining.

I don't have to. The music comes from a paid subscription that covers the copyright and is provided especially for RU-vid content creators.

Tourism was not in full bloom at this time. Development was fortunately not complete. The Kanaka Maol'i were more populated then. There must have been some Aloha spirit in the area. Pau hana means finished work. They worked very hard with the sugarcane and pineapple industries which now are outsourced to lower wage countries.

@@SCCPioneers Thank you. Most every year in the 1980's I stayed in the Moana Hotel - pre and post refurbishment - on the way back to New Zealand in our winter from Europe - to rest from a long flight and get a tan - the fenced lawn, bliss. What an a remarkable change the refurbishment made to the space and furnishings of the Moana. The American hospitality, professionalism and grace was a restorative in itself.

Great video that you shared. however it does piss me off because the people at that time had no education of what was to come amongst hawaii the whole illegal overthrow stealing crown lands and the big financial mess hawaii suffers today if hawaii had not been stolen it would of still been affordable to live on our own island. Alot of people of today cannot grasp the truth about hawaii their first instinct is well lucky hawaii was taken by the u.s i shake my head and say to myself your just as stoopid to listening to everyone else one person jump in the fire everyone else follows and thats why hawaii is unaffordable to live on gentrification the plan was to push hawaiians and locals out what do people don't get. Without the u.s being in hawaii everyone would be 30% richer why you wouldn't need to pay fica taxes.
