1976....greatest summer of all time. Especially if you lived in the Metropolitan area. I watched all day and night, from the Jersey side. The blimp races, ships, fireworks, parades.....it was heaven and we were all united that entire year. WTF. Happened. God bless America.
I was there it was fabulous, glorious days I was as part of the delegation of the Ship of the Peruvian Navy "Independence", we were cadets of the Naval School of Peru and we paraded down Fifth Avenue, l ... beautiful .... The people of New York were excellent hosts ... I always remember it as very important days in my life!
I remember seeing the tall ships in NY Harbor, it was on the Saturday before the Bicentennial which was on Sunday, It was beautiful. A warm, sunny day with family & friends. So blessed to have witnessed such a spectacular. So blessed to have lived in those days. 🙂🎂🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful film of an extraordinary Bicentennial celebration!!! My Dad filmed it too; hope we find this film now. He drove all 6 of us kids & Mom to the NJ side of the Hudson River. What an amazing view we had! I'll never forget that special 4th of July 1976!!!!🎉🎉💖
I hope you find that old film! FYI film transfer to digital video is really cheap, there was a company in Iowa that did almost 2 hours of my dad's old films, to video files and even dvd for $120 or so
@@yatinparkhani thank you so much for answering and for that important info on film transfer. I will definitely look into that so we can get some precious memories organized and enjoy seeing them again! Have a great Sunday!
I watched from a friend's apartment on the Upper West Side. I was at Battery Park for the Fireworks later that night and afterward got caught in the crush at TWC plaza. I do know, a couple 100,000 people trying to exist lower Manhattan all at once. We lived on 14th and 8th Ave., It took four hours to get home!
Thank you for this video...I was there at the July 4, 1976 Bicentennial in Battery Park, I was 10 years old almost 11...this us the only accurate video that matches my memories of this day....I see the Cascade Mountains....I dont recignize the other videos on You Tube....no Cascade Mountains?
i was 4 .. sailed on one of those ships with my mom dad and grandparents .. i remember having a picnic the statue of liberty and just hanging out all day .
On Memorial Day Weekend 2019 - MANY THANKS FOR POSTING. I, clearly, recall the Bicentennial Celebration's "Tall Ships" & the much greater UNITY. I hope we can all get back there! Peace.

I also saw the tall ships come into the harbor from Governor's Island when I was in the Coast Guard.
Those tall ships really lifted the nation's spirit up after Watergate
