Historic Travel US - Visits to the Waterfront DVD: Historic Travel US Visits to the Waterfront DVD |
| Product Description : This fabulous DVD presents a scenic portrayal three waterfronts in an enthralling manner. It offers you a glimpse of what the famous Manhattan waterfront was like in the early part of the 20th century. It helps you understand why New York was acknowledged as the world?s busiest port at the time. On a more serious note, the film presents a striking contrast between the elegant skyscrapers and the pitiable shanties that sprung up on the waterfront. The message the producer wishes to convey is quite clear - the shanties must go! The scenes of powerful tugboats chugging along the harbor are delightful as are those of fishing vessels unloading their catch. That Coney Island was the place where everybody wished to be is pretty evident in the clip entitled Coney Island, U.S.A. Although shot by an amateur, the clips on Niagara Falls are simply outstanding, not so much for the quality of filming, which isn?t too bad, but for the enthusiasm the clip carries and conveys. The falls are covered from every possible vantage point and the shots of historic places of tourist interest on the Canadian side provide a valuable peep into Canadian History. This is a fascinating travelogue on three of the United States? most famous waterfronts and one that should not be missed by anybody who fancies adventure, or simply loves collecting historical DVDs. |
