Gladstone collection 3: Northern Territories, Ghana Part 2 c.1961
Filmmaker: Wilma Gladstone General description In this film, Gladstone and her friend Joyce Trott record a driving tour they made of the northern and eastern regions of Ghana. The footage shows a variety of everyday scenes depicting roof thatching, children learning and playing at school, various markets and children weaving cloth as well as scenes from the Independence Day celebrations in Ghana. Detailed description Ferry crossing the Volta River at Yeji Clip shows trucks driving off a car float ferry with side tug on one side of the river while other vehicles wait to drive onto the ferry. Men and women walk onto the ferry as well, including a young bread-seller balancing a large tray of bread loaves on his head. Scene switches aboard the ferry itself as it crosses the river, closing in on the opposite riverbank. Shots of cars and people waiting on the opposite side. Schoolchildren at Pong-Tamale Footage begins with a class of boys, mostly in khaki uniform, clapping and singing outdoors in a clearing near a village. Their teacher leads them enthusiastically. Later shots show girls as well, and some close-ups of the children's smiling faces. Some children are happy to play up to the camera. Children carry small wooden chairs on their heads. A woman sitting on a veranda ladles food from a big basin into dozens of smaller basins. The children collect their bowls and take them to their chairs beneath shady trees. They eat with the fingers of their right hand, while a bigger girl in blue uniform distributes water from a bucket for drinking and washing of hands. Older girls, mostly in blue uniform, sit and eat separately. They wash their hands after eating and a teacher collects their bucket. Independence celebrations near Navrongo Elaborately costumed men dance to the music of drummers and horn-players in a clearing, surrounded by a large audience, including people perched up in trees. In front of the musicians are a gold-coloured moulded eagle, elephant and lion/leopard, street decorations issued by the government for the celebrations. The Ghanaian flag also features. Boys riding a donkey at Navrongo Two boys ride a donkey bareback around some trees, stopping to be photographed by a European woman. Scene switches to a string of laden donkeys trotting past on a nearby track with their drivers.

28064 PAN AM AIRLINES WINGS TO TURKEY 1960s ISTANBUL TRAVELOGUE
This color film from 1960 was produced by Fox subsidiary Movietonews Inc. We begin with a Pan American Boeing 707 Jet Clipper (:20-:37) arriving in Istanbul, Turkey, once known as Constantinople. A visitor is served lemonade via a unique dispenser strapped to a local’s back (:48-1:00) while another gets a shoe shine at an elaborate stand (1:01). A gentleman puffs on a nargalay (hooka) of flavored smoke (1:20-1:37). At the many docks, bridges full of people and cars connect the city over two continents (1:38-2:11) as Turkey spans both Europe and Asia. Ferry boats (2:18) are another means of transportation that passes by the Dolmabahce Palace (2:31-2:46), the administration center of the Ottoman Empire from 1856 to 1887 and 1909 to 1922 and now a museum. Within its ground stands a mosque (2:47). Another tourist site is Rumeli Hisari Castle built in 1451 (2:54), where a reenactment of an Ottoman military band, also known as a mehter band, performs using percussion instruments (2:56-4:09). Another exhibit is of the sword and shield dance (4:11-4:42). The Blue Mosque is a favorite place to visit (4:46). Pillars and rocks are all that remains at Bergama, an ancient spa (5:01). The ruins of Ephesus (5:29) were abandoned in the 15th century, and there are many other remnants of statues and Greek culture (5:34-6:03). <p>Every May 19th, a festival celebrating National Youth and Sports Day takes place (6:09), which includes a tall tower made of Navy men balancing on each other’s shoulders (6:25) as female dancers perform (6:27). A U.S. flag flies next to a Turkey flag (6:47) as a sign of friendship. At a hotel pool, a coffee girl dressed in native garb pours guests Turkish coffee (7:17-7:42) as others watch a Turkish fashion show (7:47-8:21). Turkey is also famous for handmade rugs of wool dyed with vegetable materials (8:27-8:51). Copperware is also still hand-produced (8:53-9:16). The ferry path goes from the Straits of the Black Sea through the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles to the Aegean Sea (9:42-10:00), with Europe on one side and Asia on the other. Along the European side, the Golden Horn (10:04) neighborhoods exemplify the mix of Greek, Roman, and Turkish cultures. The ferries also go to the Princess Islands on the Sea of Marmara (10:24), where no cars are allowed. The resorts serve exotic meals (10:52) with the Sea as the backdrop as dancers perform traditional folk dances (11:18-11:56). <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

Wide of ferries (UPSOUND: Ferry horns) STORYLINE: Hong Kong's famous Star Ferry pier closed it's doors to the public on Sunday, after 48 years of service to the region. The pier is due to be demolished due to a government reclamation project to relieve traffic congestion in the area, and a newly relocated pier has already been built to replace it. However as it's end approached, residents and tourists alike grabbed their last chance to get on a ferry at the pier. For the crowds that were lucky enough to get onto the remaining ferries, the most important thing for many was to capture was the iconic view of the pier against the famous Hong Kong night skyline. For others though it was the feeling they wanted to capture. "Although this pier will disappear soon, its spirit can be carried forward to the next generation. So I have my son with me so that he can feel how we took the ferry before to work or to school," said Laurel Tang. Despite the sense of loss, one tourist thought the disappearance of the pier was just another step in the ever changing environment of Hong Kong. "Hong Kong keeps growing; it has too. Give and take, that's what it's all about, isn't it," said Vera Ilic, who was visiting from Australia. The new, three-storey pier complex that is set to take it's place, is scheduled to open for business soon. Meanwhile, the green ferries, that have been icons with a history reaching back 100 years, will remain on the water, until their new pier is ready for service. At midnight, the pier's clock chimed for the last time and the lights on the pier were turned off, leaving only the ferries to blow their horns in one last goodbye to Hong Kong's Star Ferry pier.

Canada Crash - Ferry runs aground, hits marina and docked boats
NAME: CAN CRASH 300605Nx TAPE: EF05/0576 IN_TIME: 10:52:05:05 DURATION: 00:01:41:19 SOURCES: CTV/CBC DATELINE: Vancouver, British Columbia, 30 June 2005 RESTRICTIONS: SHOTLIST: CTV 1.

Aerial view of terminal missed by ferry STORYLINE: A Canadian ferry crashed into a marina in West Vancouver on Thursday, crushing a number of yachts and motorboats, there were no immediate reports of injuries. The accident involving the 457-foot 'Queen of Oak Bay' happened as the ferry was pulling into the docking area. A ferry spokeswoman says the ship lost power while manoeuvring and it ploughed into two piers at the marina. Witnesses said at about 10 a.m. local time, the ferry missed the terminal berth and blew horn as it crashed into Sewell's Marina. One passenger on board says there was an announcement before the crash, telling people to get into their cars and brace themselves. The ferry is part of the province's extensive fleet of boats to connect Vancouver Island and other coastal areas to the mainland. The accident occurred as many British Columbia residents were expected to flock to the ferries at the start of the long Canada Day weekend. The 'Queen of Oak Bay' returned to service on the run from West Vancouver to Nanaimo earlier this month after a $35 million upgrade. The ferry can carry 1,500 passengers and 362 cars.
