Surreal Old Timey Film Of New York City In 1911

- More Old Film of Cities Around the World here - • The 1890's ~ Amazing R... ...Rare Footage of New York City in 1911 shows everyday life in New York City over 100 years ago. The film features famous landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Flatiron Building, and showcases what life on New York streets looked like. The early 1900s were a period of rapid change for New York City. The city's population was ballooning as an influx of immigrants passed through Ellis Island. Massive skyscrapers began popping up seemingly overnight, many of them among the tallest in the world at the time. And new technology such as automobiles and elevated trains made the city more accessible than ever.
In 1911, Swedish company Svenska Biografteatern produced a nine-minute film showing everyday life in Manhattan. The remarkably clear footage, released by the Museum of Modern Art last year, includes recognizable modern-day landmarks like the Flatiron Building and the Statue of Liberty, as well as buildings that no longer exist, such as the New York Herald Building.
"Produced only three years before the outbreak of World War I, the everyday life of the city recorded here - street traffic, people going about their business - has a casual, almost pastoral quality," the museum wrote.
The film shows a boat arriving at New York Harbor with the Statue of Liberty in the distance.
The harbor is still used by cruise lines, commuter ferries, and tourist boats. And the Statue of Liberty is as popular a tourist destination as ever.
The Flatiron Building, completed in 1902, was one of the tallest buildings in the world when it was built.
Today, the Flatiron Building isn't among the tallest 1,000 buildings in New York City. But its distinct appearance has made it one of the most popular and photographed landmarks in the Big Apple.

When someone in this film looks directly into the camera I say hello to them...from me to you through space and time...
Me too. 😊
Are you The Doctor?
Same plus if they wave i wave back
These people aren't really dead.
Lord Burlap they’re going to haunt you in your sleep now
My Great Grandmother who helped raise me was about 16yrs old in 1911. She always told me how she loved those big feathered hats snd my great Grandfather pulled out his straw boater hat every May until the day he died in the seventies. I sorely miss them. Thank you for the film.
My grandparents came thru downtown NYC in 1911. Now I know what my grandparents saw back then. Funny that my grandfather always wore one of those straw hats and a three piece suit. He had no money, he just wanted to look as thought he did.
U'r so blessed to hve a connection to a bygone era caught in film here...and here I ws wondering, the descendents of these ppl will b around....
I wish I could transport myself to this time and place, even if it was only for a day.
Did you see the Pretty Woman on 5th and Broadway,?
I agree! When time travel becomes a thing, I’ll be there with you!
Me too.
Where are all these people going? Doing?
You will say something very different to that. A lot of wealthy Afroamericans
Everyone dressed so formally. Lady attires are elegant.
It was that area . It was their normal . My great grdmother who was from the Caribbean used to dress like that. My great uncles used to wear hats. I saw their pictures.
i just love watching them and everyone looks respectful..it's sad now a days it's seems people ignored being dignified
Going back decades women have always dress elegantly especially when they had such tiny waist
Yeah, and straw hats were all the rage.
Seeing them drive down the road, so polite to one another and all of them driving at a reasonable speed to allow for any contingency...most of them so stoic...
Jose Salvador Hernandez We are spoiled and have become ungrateful. 😢
@Alejandro - yeah but I bet if their cars back then went 75 mph they'd still drive slow because people back then had manners & etiquette unlike people of today who are rude & think it's all about them.
Racism and sexism = people understood and knew that differences existed between the races and sexes.
Believe it or not, back then, people were actually better educated on the Truth about race and sex. Unlike today, they did not just assume that the races and sexes were equal which they are not. There was a widespread awareness that blacks, on average, had less intelligence and less impulse control than Whites and mixing the different races would produce a more fragmented and hostile world. Racial diversity is a negative and they understood it. They also understood the role of the woman as a nurturer better. Women, in general, make excellent elementary school teachers, nurses, wives, mothers, and homemakers. They don't, generally, make very good workers in the factories as all they do is bitch, whine, fuss, and complain. They would've been better off staying at home and taking care of the kids and house, as they did prior to the 1960s and the feminist denigration of motherhood. Most of them, by their nature, are not cut out for the working world. Back in 1911, all of this was common sense. Today, we deny reality and truth.
Thank you for your comment very well said !!!
My grandfather immigrated from Sweden in 1911 to Ellis Island, thank you for giving me the opportunity to see the world he witnessed as he passed thru on his way to Nebraska
Trump says we shouldn't have let you guys in.
@@harrylangdon491 your an idiot
@@harrylangdon491 Bud says you should shut the fuck up, buffoon.
@@harrylangdon491
No, he didn't say that!!!!
People who came around that time from all over the world they did work and build America.
They didn't live on taxpayers money.
My Maternal Grandfather was born May 1911, in Iowa.
Every one of them are gone now. All the tears, laughter and stories lost to the ages. The same fate awaits us. Cool video. Love it
Party pooper
IMagine if they were still alive. Now that would be something to fascinate, not that people die. No news there.
It's incredible how these kinds of films bring back these people to life...if only for a brief moment.
Someone should do a video today of these same locations and in the same sequence and play them side by side.
Absolutely right you would get mugged today.
Sentinel - What an EXCELLENT IDEA!!!!
Sentinel I'll do it when I go back to my neighborhood. I grew up in midtown from 68 to 86. In the 80s it was just getting to the point it was scary to ride the subway alone, and the whole thing with Bernard Getz happen and it made it worse. Anyone from the city knows what a mess that was. Once I left for college, i hardly ever go back because the city is so dangerous . but may be exciting to you tourists but to those who know the true pitfalls of where you are, want nothing to do with it. Like I always say, THERE ARE NO RULES IN THE CITY, JUST GUIDELINES. People may chuckle but that's reality. Try not to get killed because if you're on the 5:00 news being told by Liz Chow, by 11:00 pm, you're not even a thought. NO THANK YOU. I wish I could get my parents out of there, but they are New York through and through. I'll do the film when I go back to see them this year or next.

What I found most interesting was the different modes of transportation systems, side by side. Horse and carriage, automobiles, trolley, trains. What an amazing time for physics and invention.
Even the tolls area, the NYPD officers, the “taxis” . Thank you for posting this video. It should be posted on a big screen in Times Square . It might cool heads and reminding us that we too are be filmed in 2020.
What dangerous streets to navigate...a free for all concerned!
And within a decade motor vehicles have won the transportation war and the horses are mostly gone.
@@yvonneplant9434 The streetcars were driven from New York by Robert Moses and LaGuardia, but one company lasted to the mid 30s, the other to 1948 and in Brooklyn to mid 1950s. Rarely were these referred to as trollies. The Long Island Railroad may still be the busiest in the world. The Els were replaced by subways. The ferries have returned. A lot of mistakes were made in transportation planning.
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies
@@canary7361 The decision to invest is an acknowledgment that comes with certain risks. Not all investments will do well and some may lose money. However, without risk there would be no opportunity to potentially earn the higher returns that can help you grow your wealth.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@thamad311 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
@@susanhaynes679 You allow people to trade for you? that's interesting, I would love to learn, hope it’s safe?
My great grandfather was born this year 1911 he passed away in the early 90s I was born in 1981 and was blessed to spend alot of time in his presence. It's amazing how different the men seemed to be compared to today's. He was a Reverend and taught me lots, miss him, he was very stern strong yet loving. A huge role model for myself to be like. A true blessing!!!
So blessed
May his soul rest in joy
I wonder if any of those people going about their daiky lives eventually sailed on the Titanic
God bless you, he sounded like a great guy and in a different league to the role models that some people have today.
You didn't go out without a hat...how nice everyone looks. Thanks!
All those light-colored men's hats with the wide black band were "boaters hats"", made of straw for the warm summer weather. In the winter they wore "bowlers", made of felt. At least that's what Google says was the fashion for 1911.
And you took the hat off when you went inside.
I noticed that also...every single person except a few kids are wearing a hat!
Yeah everybody wore hats.
It must have been a bald man's paradise.
Just think. When that was filmed, none of us existed and now as we sit watching it, none of those people are alive anymore in this world. Makes one reconsider what is really important in this life. There was a time when I wasn't here and there will be a time when I am not here again. We are all just passing through and the only thing we leave behind is the influence we had on those around us.
horseman528 so perfectly said.
Yes indeed..great understanding
@@dgcmusi And for me, the saddest thing is in 100 or 150 years, no one will remember us. They won't even know we were here.
@horseman528: Very dramatic and sympathetic comment . . . except that it's also completely untrue. Einstein and most modern physicists agree that all of these people are in fact alive right now . . . and will continue to be alive right now . . . eternally. Just google "block theory of time" . . .
You missed the whole point of what I said. I didn't say they are not alive eternally; I said they are not alive in this world. The Hindu faith believes souls are reborn over and over into this world which I do not because of Hebrews. 9:27 where it says it is appointed unto man ONCE to die, and after death the judgment. Enuf said.
This is as close as we can get to going back in time!
The amount of effort to go out dressed like that is crazy but then again there is no fast food or technology so getting out the mail would be an affair in itself
Interesting to think that every man, woman, child, and horse, are all dead and gone. We just saw a small snippet of their lives captured in time on film. None replaceable, each individual unique, never to see this world again. Well maybe, but not in physical form.
How many words spoken in a lifetime, how many steps taken, how many relationships come and gone. How many amazing sights seen, thoughts thought, emotions experienced, happy and sad....and for a few minutes we got to see a moment in time, human beings that experience the same things we do, live out their lives. Just in a different time.
This is closest we have to a time machine. Film. Time, captured and kept for all too see in the future, who weren't present in the past.
If only we learned from it.
Shane Roper Well said! It brings perspective to contemplate about these things
WOW! You're absolutely right. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I must say this is one of the best comments I've read so far.
Poor horses
You couldn’t have said it better!
That thought went thru my mind as well, surreal.
Notice how not one person stopped and asked " why are you filming? Stop filming me, I didnt give you permission to film me. "
I noticed several teenagers who definitely knew what it was, knew they were being filmed and were definitely trying to be in the picture longer.
This was/is probably their only immortalization in moving pictures. That one, all to brief moment.
Mr Disarray unknown ... that is a logical fallacy. Just because you don’t see that happen doesn’t mean it didn’t. These are clips with many breaks. For all we know the photographer was asked to move and stop filming every time they started filming. You know what they say about assuming don’t you?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They probably didnt know what a video camera was
@@rbeck3200tb40 well that's for sure! But they knew what a motion film protector was and how to capture motion pictures using a film camera. Seeing one to them out on the street like this was rare and I'm sure most of them felt honored, probably thought they were going to be in a movie. 😉
Wow Do you notice how everyone carries themselves with a sense of importance and dignity. Truly amazing.
Imagine telling those people in 1911 that one day their little film could be accessed at any time by anyone in the world simultaneously, for little cost, and viewed on a phone on which comments about them could be written and shared in an instant. Seriously, it's as bizarre as imagining being able to go to Pluto for a Sunday afternoon walk and be back in an hour.
Priceless footage: people dressed with such class back then
Down Hill you have the perfect name. America is morally bankrupt today, godless/imploding. The only fools you spoke of are the ones who reject Jesus Christ, and blame everything/one around them for their situation. You can't fix others but you can fix YOU via Faith in Jesus. ALL these ppl are dead now...how did whining about everything/one help them when they died and stood before a Holy God?
Nothing "classy" about having to take a crap in an outhouse.
Fred...or those who'd talk about it, instead of whats good about that time.
People had self respect, to be presentable in public...unlike today.
@@fazbell That was an improvement from dumping it in the street .
Computers have been cleaning up many of these old films and running them at natural speed. The result is fantastic.
Even my mother and father weren't born yet and my grandparents were only about 15 years old then.."and like a puff of smoke we are no longer here". be kind to one another for time is short in this human existence . Wonderful nostalgia ................
I guess the most stunning aspect is how the buildings were essentially the same and modern type and day to day functions/travel were similar
All those Union army Civil War veterans in their 60s hopping around on one leg. ✊🏼 respect.
That made me sad.
I was fascinated by those images too
Thats right... thank you for your sacrifice
I think the timing is off for them to be civil war vets. We had no shortage of wars and battles back then. Could have been any one of them.
It's possible if he was 20 in 1865.
Can't believe how clear this footage is!
Naturally, it was heavily cleaned-up and digitally re-processed to eliminate the scratches, dirt and lighting-problems, but it is authentic and well-preserved now as a file for all time.
I totally agree
Its digitally enhanced & remastered (*this isnt the original stock footage
When looking at the children...I can't help but think I may be watching my Grand Father...?
Wow, this collection of scenes from the past had more impact on me than the previous ones I viewed for some reason...
unreal how clear the footage is!
108 year old camera had better quality that a 2 year old casino security camera
I lovd these old videos. Back then everyone was well dressed. Thank you. Times were not easy for some. But they made the best they could, with what they had.
@49jubilee until the 60s. People dressed horribly in the 70s.
Dressed well? Overdressed if you ask me. Every man in suit and tie even to go to a ball game. This was everyday everywhere clothes. They even went fishing down at the river bank wearing a tux & bowtie. WTF. And you know why? They had no shorts, no jeans, no tank tops, no sneakers but they did have those silly ass hats. Everyone looked they same. Hey Elizabeth I suppose you dress nice like the women you see in the video. Can you imagine the garbage collectors wearing a suit & tie? Pure Goofy.
Pat Calvo you're just ignorant. Shut up
LIBERATIVE how am I being ignorant?
Have you guys ever heard of evolution? That!s the way it was then. Clothes GRADUALLY changed over the centuries. The only goofy people here are you shit talkers. There was LIFE before you were born and there will be life after! Think about the clothes YOU are wearing!
3:00 A CZcamsr traced the registration plate of the car,and found out the whole history of the family
Relatively clean looking bunch considering the lack of facilities that must have been uncomfortable at the time.
Yeah they maybe bathed once a week, not much deodorant used back then.
@@johnmccaughan4195 or decent shampoo.
Nice to see the masses well dressed and going about their business, politely, and professionally.
Time Travel😊
Assumptions, naive assumptions.
I bet the man on the crutches who had lost his leg probably had fought in the civil war. Priceless film, thanks for providing it.
I saw him and I thought to early for World War I, but he was fairly agile and if he was from the Civil War he would have to be in his late sixties or early seventies. I'm not sure.
If his injury was war-related, then it was probably from the Spanish-American War (1898). Also could have been from working in an industrial job; injuries like that were commonplace at the time.
@@squirefld WW1 was 1917.
He looked a bit young to have fought in the civil war.
@@drsmetal2747 1914-1918
I watched the entire thing carefully and I didn't see even ONE obese or overweight person.
Can you imagine if they saw the T.V show My 600 lb. Life.
People were not starving, this was just pre fast food/junk food
There were obese people back then, just less of them. People back then walked much more than modern people. Walking usually was the first thing
they did in the morning to get to work, or school, or to get water, as indoor plumbing was not universal as it is today in the developed world.
No junk food and a lot of walking.
@@tigrotom7312 - If you want to lose weight, you're talking about a lot of walking, as in 10 to 15 hours per week. If you are interested in losing weight, of course, cutting out junk food and walking are involved, but you also have to reduce calorie intake. The exception is the person who exercises in copious amounts, like a surfer or water polo, etc.
My great grandpa was 15 when this was filmed. The transition in society he got to see. Amazing
This is the most beautiful, soul moving footage I’ve ever seen. I’ve worked 12 years as a camera man, so far most of that in NYC and this is just incredible to look at! It feels like the closest we can get to time travel... for the time being... I’m truly moved by this. Thank you 🙏🏽
For the the Time being... =)
I would like to see a colored in version.😍
@@maehake2791 There is one !
Old is gold
@@maehake2791 It was all mostly black and white anyway.
Luv luv LUV the women’s hats!!! My dad always wore a suit and hat to work in the 1960s. Bring it back!!!
And many of the younger women appear to have 9" waists.
Lol! Like someone else said, there were no fast food restaurants!
No doubt , the women were amazing back then ! I was absolutely transported back in time ..........
Yeah but they were oppressed by the patriarchy, can't you see them burning their bras in the background?
Around this period was when my grandparents immigrated from Slovakia (Bohemia) and entered Ellis Island with everything they owned in their suitcases. Very interesting to see what New York was like from their perspective.
To think that I've been to New York like 4 years ago and 2 years ago, and walked on the same streets as the people of some of the clips here, it's crazy
0:56 That young man lol,
yes love you'll see yourself on you tube in 100 years time. I love this. Thanks for posting.
He was totally unaware of the wonder that was happening to him. What a strange feeling for us!
Everybody's dressed to the nines and things look so orderly the total opposite of today's new York
I think that's because the average person only had like 3 outfits back then and most of them were some kind of suit.
@@TrollingVeteran better 3 suits than hand me downs with Beevis and Butthead shirts and wife beaters😆
No vandalism or graffiti, no tent cities full of homeless drunks & junkies
Im not a rapper xxx he’s well informed and correct. Most people had three changes of clothing and it had to work for all situations. Prior to the sewing machine, most folks had one suit of clothes and maybe two shirts and two pairs of underwear. You washed these by hand nearly every day.
A lot more jaywalking though.
My dad & mom were born in 1917& 1919, respectively. Wasn't even around yet. Wow. Such class. I miss that in today's society.
Wow! It feels like I've been transported in time. This is amazing footage. Thank you!
PRICELESS insight into another era: thank God for film

Did those people think that they would be watched by another generation in 2019???? It’s exiting....
Vlad S We’re going to be watched by the next century’s generation in awe hopefully. Generation 2119 imagine that.
2020
Probably not 2019, but 2011, or maybe 2211.
100 years from now, ppl will see videos of us and be amazed how primitive we seemed
If we don't destroy ourselves my comment could be read by some historian in year 10.000 BCE. Hello historian friend! I'm from your past. From what you maybe call the stupid times where we almost self destroy because tribalism and greed. There was also good things like movies, rock music, freedom of speech, still some Amazonian forest and wildlife. Hope everything is going fine.
The quality is so clear. Amazing film. Thanks for posting this...
Thank you so much never seen an old video like this
Before it went to shit. Everyone's posture looks so healthy too, their shoulders all squared up healthy and not hunched over like slobs.
Healthy? The average life expectancy was 39 years back then.

Everyone, Including the "lower" class groomed, shirts tucked in, polite, posture and a sense of self pride. My how a lot has changed in 100 years of "progression". More like degeneration.
And posture is one of the automatic effects of dressing well and nicely!
Immense poverty, disease, racism, sexism, unsafe working and living conditions. Hardly wonderful.
And with all that. Still shaved, kept clean, combed hair, tucked in shirts, dressed up with some dignity & purpose. My point exactly. People in America didnt start looking like slobs until the late 1960's early 70's. And if you were'nt alive then. You only know what someone else tells you.
@Kristie C of course!
Jeff L So a different wardrobe is stupid now?
How beautiful to remain forever in a movie even if you have been gone from this world for more than 100 years.
Beautiful to see people living in the moment and not staring at cellphones like zombies.
I hear the hell out of that.👍👍
🤣 very true
RICH D as we stare at this video
As you stare into your cell phone lol
@Jaime Alonzo No numbnuts, Im not a cellphone idiot like you
The thing I notice is that people didn't have to worry about crossing the street. Nothing is going faster than 10 miles per hour. Now you're lucky if motorists obey a 40mph speed limit.
LOL.....said the same thing before I read your post. No one is looking both ways for on coming traffic.
Do you like steeping on horse shit?
Not easy to hit 40 on the busy Manhattan streets, there's too much traffic.
@@nutlover3609 I prefer that to risking my life every time I want to cross the street.
The guy at 1:54 didn't give a ____ that a streetcar was coming.
Really surreal this footage with an incredible quality. Thanks for loading
Best old New York film that I've seen... Thanks for posting!
They had so much class in those days. I wanted to step though time to say hello to those people and feel the energy and excitement during that time of industry and transformation. The buildings boggle my mind how they were so well made-still the strongest structures standing. The first electric motor was built only about 50 years prior. The light bulb about 30. Incredible.
No antibiotics. It was great for white upper middle class, not so great for others. Football was being modernized, basketball was still a vey low scoring slogging game, the pros practically played tackle basketball, baseball was still in the dead ball era, Sousa and Carusa was music, very staid and maybe a bit dull...
At 0:12, man with one leg on crutches. Maybe a civil war vet, how cool it would have been to meet or know some of them and to hear stories of their experiences.
Don Nebes , I noticed him also and thought of my great grandfather who had been wounded at Cold Creek. I wonder how hard life was back then for an injured soldier. The man in the movie looked well groomed.I hope he was happy and loved.
not old enough to be a civil war vet. Maybe any other war or industrial accident. I wondered too, what is his story.
Lawyers call their cases where client lost a leg in an accident a 'leg off'.
Don Nebes probably Civil War vet in his sixties?
@@robertsmith6068 Yeah he would have to be almost 70 or more, 50 years after the Civil War
It's really beautiful! Thanks to show us!
Fantastic film! Imagine, all those people living their lives in NY in 1911 and now they are gone. What did they think and feel in their time; it’s facinating to watch them like they were still there....
None of these people knew about WWI or WWII.
I know it's an obvious fact, but it's fascinating to me to think of people having different history in their brains as they go about living.
And you think people today know anything about WWI? Shirley you jest.
@@harrylangdon491 Fair point, and don't call me Shirley.
They didn’t know about World War I yet....and they were destined to fight in it. Are those steamboats?
They knew about the Civil war, the Boer war, the Franco Prussian war, the Spanish American war, many knew a war was coming with the rise of bolshevism, certainly not everyone, but a keen few who could read the writing on the wall
Visda58: In Europe the great armament had given rise to fear of a "European War" or "General War."
No one of them living today but without their efforts and hard working we wouldn't have what we have today
This is the actual "time machine"...what else? I LOVE It.
LOOK AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 🌏💫💙
Simply beautiful. Hard to believe how crazy the world is today compared to then.
Simply Sara
It's very crazy now, but it was about to get crazy then with WWII.
Imagine 100 yrs from now.. 😬
Not beautiful. This society had the fear of God put into them. None of them were allowed to be themselves. It was pretty cut and dry back then.
It would be boring and stuffy though and 6 of your 8 kids would die before they were 5. You had no fun and you were a slave.
Shit Was Crazy Even Thin America Has Never Really Had Ppl With Good Morals This Is Just A Snip It Doesn’t Show The Ppls True Interactions. No Sound Just Random Clips Put Together
This was from 110 years ago.
That is like someone from the year 2130 A.D. watching a film of us today.
Will this forum still exist in a century? I hope the next hundred years are a lot kinder to the planet and all it's occupants (and that the human race behaves better than in the last).
@TheTpanativehe History Channel today is airing the series "America the Story of Us - Metropolis"
imagine what they'll think of creatures like Logan Paul
Gnome Crushr yea and they will say what in f$&@ happened to New York back then..There is a reason they call it zoo York..It's a damn circus
Duuude. Puff, puff, pass. 😜
I can imagine someone watching me on video footage 200 years later
Isn't that amazing
I really love the music. It's interesting how this modern music complements these "old timey" images so well.
No it doesn't
this is unreal. this music is wonderful and really goes well with this beautiful movie. instead of playing some ragtimey piano music, this almost makes the viewer feel like a time traveler. thank you
...time traveler...'zactly right!
I think the music didn't fit well with the video. A melancholic song would be better.
The music is abysmally mismatched
I almost always turn off the sounds. Don't fit at all. But fake sounds are worse.
Love that woman who just coolly walks past at 1:28
Such grace.
For sure. And she looked beautiful too. I keep thinking I wish I can just go through the computer screen and back into that time and just meet her and talk to her, or any other woman of that time period for that matter.

"Where are you going?"
"Outside"
"Put on your suit and tie. Don't forget your hat"
Remember now dear: your great aunt is arriving at Pier 59 at 12:00 noon aboard the liner: Olympic. Don't be tardy now and make sure her chocolate and Brandy are in the automobile waiting .
Nowadays its jumpsuits and must not forget your smartphone

Love ur idea
I like to keep with the times, purple hair and extremely offended
Oh hell no. Corsets and bustles, long skirts, stifling collars. I don't think so
One year before the *Titanic!* Great video.
Thanks for a wonderful glimpse into what is now a passed culture.
Show the sister ship arriving at Pier 59,Spring 1911.
I was like,these people were alive when the Titanic sunk
@@elcabezon5487 The General Slocum disaster was in 1904. The Titanic does not define history.
This is absolutely amazing!!!
Amazing footage!
Fantastic footage ! Thank goodness somone knew to keep the films in cold storage before they deteriorated into dust.... Thankyou .
When I feel stressed or worried, I think of old movies and footage like this and it reminds me that in a very short time, I’ll be dead. We will all be dead. It isn’t morbid; it’s possibly the only truth. Memento Mori: remember, you’re dying.
Nothing matters except for love and what we’re experiencing right now at this moment. Death sometimes seems scary but a second after it happens, we won’t care, just like the second before we were born. Thanks for posting this video.
Tommy you are so right
Tommy God wants you to be saved.
Tommy I often feel exactly the same. We are merely passing through, my friend.
Maureen Leigh tell him to focus on the kid locked in a box somewhere within a few miles of me or you. It’s a typical response to the what I said and that’s okay. It’s easy to assume that my words equate to me feeling lost and hopeless. Thing is I generally don’t feel either one. It’s happiness that urges me to embrace the reality that we’re dying. And fairly soon. Literally no one knows about the after.
ye old train goth
Wow. This footage is in such good shape!
I can't believe such films exist.. Thanks for posting.
Loved everything about this, inc. the horse apples in the street. Music choice was genius. I was transported.
The Titanic was a year away from sinking. Nobody here had any idea. 2 World Wars ahead. To them this was modern times. Very interesting indeed!
The Inagural Memeorial day INDIANAPOLIS 500 Mile Race was that year. In front of 85K spectators and average speed of 74mph.
Wonder what lies ahead for us?
@@msbirdlover4705 armagedón 🔥🔥🔥💀💀💀💀
It was modern times for them. Given that this is NYC these people were the most advanced ever up to tthat point. To us we are in modern times but I wager things will be much diifferent 100 yrs from now.
Hard to believe my grandma was 8 when this was filmed.
My grandfather and his future wife were both 12 years old, living in the South and looking forward to a better life in the North.
Could have witnessed an infant Ronald Reagan and called him Mr.
Great historical footage
The inquisitive young boy, the smiling black driver and the one legged civil war vet are seared in my memory. Great nostalgic video.
He even was wearing a suit! Imagine the values of society
I thought the same thing
Charles Morgan ...and to think that 6 years later those boys gawking at the camera were likely getting shot at in some trench in France.
so true.. I noticed all of them too.. The smilling black driver in a car with down in the mouth white people. He was a happy man ..
Charles Morgan - This is 1911. The vet looks too young to be a Civil War casualty. He was probably a veteran of the Spanish-American war. Just commenting.
Fantastic I didn't want this to end amazing thank you!
3:58 the fellas looked back at the ladies
Some things never change
amanda beadle 😂
Haha! I noticed that, too. Both of them! She must've been a real LOOKER!
Lol. I saw that as well. Some things never change.
Leslie Kendall lol true
Incredible Video..
Notice not one person is acting like a fool.
Trump, among others. had not been born yet.
Morals were important... unlike now
@@littleprince12 very much so
You know what I'm saying! Not one!
People conducted themselves with dignity then. They had social graces. Society has declined. For me, people didn’t have their pants down to their ankles, piercings, tattoos and people are actually walking upright, engaged and being aware of others and their surroundings. Not hunched over, one hand holding a phone and the other holding up their pants 👖. Haha hope nobody drops a coin! Which hand do you free to pick it up 🤭
How many civil war vets walked right by and being filmed. How many actually seen Abraham Lincoln alive...RIP y’all🙌🏻
Looks better than now!!! I’ve lived there 22 years and never saw so many elegant people! Wow when men were men and women women and not gender confused people!as we have now. Looks so much more sane and dignified! I love how people dressed back then.
Thankyou 👍much love
Brilliant background music selection!
Incredible. A whole generation of people no longer with us. Thank you for sharing this. Loved it.
Yeah, if they hadnt died rents would be even higher/
@@harrylangdon491 I have no idea what you're talking about? I think you may have sent your message to the wrong person.
@Y2kSd4 You're right. Some time in the future people will be looking at videos of our generation long after we're gone too. Just enjoy life while we've got it, and leave it better for the next generations.
If they were still alive, that would be incredible.
Definitely. Well said
0:27
Straight ahead is Central Park, that last building you see if off of 58th, I work right down that street at the Plaza Hotel lol
ziggy morris ... Hook us up with an inexpensive hotel room.
So
I saw St. Patrick's cathedral in there somewhere, too
Everyone seemed like they had something to do. Not a bunch of hanging out. I like that.😎
Yes, they had no leisure time, no weekends, no 8 hour work days. No antibiotics, hardly any amusements. Hot uncomfortable conformity in dress and style. Pollution everywhere
Amazing!!! I feel like a time traveler. I wanna see more, just subbed!! Great work
