Treasure From The Deep (1934)

Titles read: “Treasure from the deep.“ California, United States of America. Various shots of people searching through the rocks and debris on a beach for ambergris, a rare substance used as a base for expensive perfumes. It apparently originates in a whale’s stomach and every ounce is worth about £5. One couple search through the sand while their baby lies beside them in a carrycot. Several people seem to be there with their whole families - children and adults hunt together. People hold up pieces of ambergris they have found. Note: good illustration of people trying anything to make money during the depression. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
