Remarkable how much the Manhatten skyline looks the same as it does today in a number of places.

Rare footage of a unique year in shipping history, so many of these ships would be lost during WW2, and neither the Queen Mary nor the Normandie have entered service yet. It's nice to see Cunard's Grand Old Lady, Aquitania, and the soon to be retired Mauretania in her cruising white. Does anyone know the name of the first Cunarder seen in the film, the one with the single stack, I think it may be the Franconia? New York Harbor hasn't been this busy for years.

Nice footage

Awesome the Conte Di Savoia! Thought it was the Rex at first but then I saw the stern. :P
-
1:18 I thought it was the Olympic on the left side of the screen (one of her funnels), but it was the Aquitania. :P

I take back my comment last year criticizing your choice of music track. After hearing the truly awful contemporary music that so many YouTubers choose to accompany their archival or historical videos, this song is glorious by comparison! I now approve.

So happy to hear it!

I _love_ the video and have no problem at all with the onscreen URL, but IMHO the music track is all wrong. It's just nerve racking to have to listen to.

Sorry you don't like the music... for me, it captures the urgency and business of New York Harbor in the 1930s with all those ships coming and going. Glad you enjoy the video.
