A Steamship Passes By
With energetic waving of handkerchiefs to those on shore, a large steamship heads off
Non-Fiction 1899 1 mins
Overview
We can't quite see the name of this ship as it steams by on its way to an unknown destination, so we can't make a very informed guess about where this was filmed. But it's likely one of the major steamship ports of the day, such as Liverpool or Southampton. Frustratingly, we have no information about who made the film.
