Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films? Visit Visit our website This silent, black and white travelogue is the second of a two part series (we don’t have part one) on the Regional Geography of New England. Covering Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire, the film shows overviews of industry, towns and cities, historic sites, and a tour of some of the august institutions of higher learning in the region. Though not dated, we believe this film was shot in the late 1910’s to early 1920’s because at 08:52 we’re shown the Washington Elm in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which died in 1923. (Trivia: at 09:11 the statue “The Lexington Minuteman” by Henry Hudson Kitson is misidentified as “The Minute Man” by Daniel Chester French.) Produced by the Society for Visual Education. 00:08 TITLE CARD Men pull fishing net into flat bottomed boat; full nets teeming with fish 00:33 Men scoop fish from nets into boat 00:48
