This may have been posted earlier. Along with British Pathé website, there's another one out there that provides archive footage, mainly newsreel footage. Go to http://www.archive.org, and search for "moving images" with appropriated keywords. Unlike the British pathé website, footage is available in very high quality, with no watermarking, and available in different formats and file sizes (Divx, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, etc...). Sizes for a single same file ranges from 35MB to 200+ MB, depending on the format being used.
So far, I've only found four clips related to ocean liners:
- three related to Normandie: a quick view of the ship being tugged in New York Harbor in 1938 (last and small part of a longer clip available here: http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?id=188) and two clips showing the fire that eventually ruined her, one being a color footage (http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?id=3317), the other one being part of a B/W newsreel (http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?id=763)
- one related to Andrea Doria, with footage of the sinking and rescue as well as underwater footage of the wreck no less than 6 weeks after her loss, that underwater exploration being led by famous French moviemaker Louis Malle. The underwater footage however, is very short and shows part of her port side as well as some davits (footage available here: http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?id=759)
FYI, DivX files requires the DivX codec (available on www.divx.com), MPEG-4 files are playable using Apple's latest Quicktime software (www.quicktime.com).
If anyone of you finds out other ocean liners related material, feel free to post them in here.
