1930 HOME MOVIE CAPE COD CANAL CRUISE AMERICAS CUP YACHTS NAVY SHIPS BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS 33524

This black white, silent home movie with wonderful title cards was filmed in the late 1920s or early 1930 off of Boston, Massachusetts. It shows a cruise past U. S. Navy vessels, the Gloucester fishing fleet, Boston Lightship, and more. We don t know who shot it, whoever it was loved the water. Opening title card: A Coast Guard vessel no. 100, destroyer type on the water (:25). This appears to be the Wickesclass destroyer USS Maury (DD100), which was decommissioned in 1930. Another vessel, apparently the Clemsonclass USS McFarland (DD237, AVD14) is visible in the background. Bluejackets from the 237 get shore leave in a boat; the 237 ship on the water (:57). Joe cleans the ship (1:39). Men swim in the buff in the warm Atlantic Ocean (2:14). A two stack passenger steamer on the water (2:32). The rear of a ship marked Oglala (2:45). This is apparently USS Oglala (ID1255, CM4, ARG1), a minelayer originally commissioned as Massachusetts and later sunk at Pearl Harbor. Sailors leave the ship
