RARE 16mm FOOTAGE: 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in SAN FRANCISCO
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- The Panama-Pacific International Exposition was a world's fair held in San Francisco from February 20 to December 4, 1915.
Its stated purpose was to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal, but it was widely seen as an opportunity for the city to showcase its recovery from the 1906 earthquake. The fair was constructed on a 636 acre site along the northern shore (now known as the Marina District).
In this film, there are segments devoted to equestrian events, stunt flying, wrestling, dancing, boating, pageantry... There are scenes of boats, including large warships, and a short play titled "Story of Jewel City" that was produced by the Exposition Players Company.
This 16mm film was digitized by the California Audiovisual Preservation Project.

Watch at .75x speed for smoother playback. They speed up alot of these old clips that were filmed at lower frame rates than today.
The original film cameras were hand cranked. This is why the film appeared to be sped up. Because when film is exposed slowly, it appears sped up in play back. The opposite is true. If run through fast, it appears to be in slow motion. Hand cranking also led to the nickname "the grinder" as you could hear the film moving through the intermittent movement. Also where we get the term "shooting".
They didn't speed them up. Time has sped up. Look it up!
Very helpful thanks
I hope we keep finding more footage. It looks distinctively like the people were part of the show, and they knew it. They did a great job of getting the patina on the buildings in some of those shots to look like thousands of years. Amazing.
Can you elaborate on people knew they were part of the show. Do you mean they were like actors acting out a scene
Same way these societies love to dress up and “re-enact” historical scenes. They are making future propaganda to fool the masses into their nonsense narrative.
Yeah, almost like they are actually thousands of years old. Like for real. No really
Stunning. In comparison to what the Marina is now. It’s kind of sad.
At least there's a Johnny Rockets.....................
If you think the building at 6:53 (Or any of them really) was built within 50 years of this video by pioneer gold miners (Or even commissioned by those type of folk), I have some really nice oceanfront property in Arizona that might interest you.
On vey! It's just cheap buildings built out of plaster! We had to take those down! You would never want to live near those! Just look how ugly Paris turned out!
@@robertjohnson5893 lol The sets in Ben Hur appear to be pretty ancient yet they were made in months. I don't get the angle here like it would be waaaayyy more difficult to move all the pieces of an ancient civilization and reassemble them in months than make them put of plaster(which we have SO much documentation and eyewitness accounts of fro people that only died like 20-30 years ago)

_They're_ the few buildings that were built / subsequently restored and rebuilt to be permanent such as Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry which originated with the 1893 fair, rebuilt for the 1933 Century of Progress.

"Them trees" were brought in, invoices exist.

I'm currently reading "West From Home" by Laura Ingalls Wilder (from the Little House on the Prairie series). It's a book of all the letters she wrote to her husband back home while visiting her daughter Rose in San Francisco during the 1915 Exposition.
Seeing this and reading her letters describing it while she's there makes me feel like i'm experiencing it too. Closest thing to time travel.
That is amazing! Love this!
I felt that way while reading a book written by Helen Keller. Her description of her home was so vivid, it was like I was there. And to top it off - she was blind - yet could make me feel like I was there with her, just by the use of words. Amazing! Like a letter from someone across time!
12 minutes in look at this massive pillars that are old and weathered. Totally buildings from the old world that we were lied to about. Only to be destroyed and re-purposed into other things. So sad
Its just paper mache :p
Yup. Something happened. Something was erased.
I'm with you.
The exhibition was literally built on landfill. Rubble from the 1906 earthquake was dumped into the bay to create this “land”. There was nothing here but water and estuary before then, certainly no grand buildings. Not sure what ya’ll are smokin’.
@BereanJenn "camp(us)" nice rendering of the term of art. they love that sorcery word salad, don't they?

Hard to believe it was built in 2 years just to blow it up at the end
Sooo much strangeness
7:32 there is very interesting double wide cars with about 8 rows of seats that can hold about 10 people side by side? wonder if any of these cars still exist.
You can see the old buildings from the old world

You must have brains to reject mindless Tartarian reset fantasy.
Awesome footage.
You believe fantasies.

If the arch you refer to is at Farnam Park, it was salvaged from an 1887 bank building (U.S. National Bank) and moved to its present location in 1973.
33:21 to 33:27 looks like Charlie Chaplin is in the crowd! In 1915 his caracter was not so much known and copied... He would be 26. He started his career in 1913...HAHAHAHA, MAN... I think you have Charlie Chaplin in you film... He would really be in such an exposition in San Francisco!... MAN... Sure you did not know that Charlie Chaplin would be in your film, hey?! 95 % sure it's him.
Great catch! I'd goes as far too say 100% its him... the hairline, height, everything... even has the cane tucked into his suit, can't be anyone else for that time period 😆
What a trip!
It's so strange seeing San Francisco overrun with civilized human beings.
The Watchers or Millenial Kingdom?!
leaning towards the former...
The 49ers dig pretty good for themselves. 65 years from the donner party to this. Bravo! Fast forward 106 years and we can't figure out which bathroom a man should use.We must be the most advanced generation on earth. 🤔

The pilot is Lincoln Beachy, who invented many of the aerobatic tricks we know today like Looping the Loop. Sadly, he later crashed and died during a performance at the Exhibition.
at 1;29 look at the trees on the mountain in the background, quite small.. whatever happened, took the mature trees away. what IF there is a global event, every 2/300 years? the watchers know and go to there underground bases.. and leave us , the surface dwellers, to our fate..... just a thought

@@GodEmperorOfDune747 You are spitting venom into the wind.
You want "a few intelligent sentences"?
How about:
The structures of the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition were built for that fair by humans of that time using technologies and skills that were readily available, was done so for profit and pride, was successful, and was taken down afterward as had been stipulated in the original plans (which are a matter of record).
The notion that the structures were 'ancient' is absolute nonsense that is easily refuted from an abundance of reputable and reliable resources such as archival records.
Tell me; if the structures had been 'ancient', how were they entirely unnoticed by generations of residents, mariners, soldiers at the Presidio, ranchers, missionaries, native peoples who had inhabited the area prior to the fair?
Charlie Chaplin at 33:24
So bizarre. They just came and took over. Looks like military marching
So wished I lived back than to attend this.
We deffo been lied too...look at the size of the buildings...and people are riding around in shitty cars and on horses .
Grow up and learn some actual history.
Start with steam powered equipment of the industrial age, then progress to 1914 - 15 when the fair structures were built.
Wrong 🤣
Ugh. Every video from this era is just eerie.The hats, the three piece suits, middle of summer in California. Everybody acting suspect as all hell. Check out the people playing by the water. Nobody is dressed for the beach. Not one person. They act like they never seen water before. You wont convince me they didnt stumble upon a San Francisco already built by a wiped out civilization. We are closer than ever to the truth.
This is just how formal the aristocracy is, if you took black and white film of the royal henley regatta (a very posh upperclass rowing event in england) today it would look the same
Why do you idiots prefer fantasy to well documented fact?
If people of 1915 went to a beach or lakeside dressed as they would today it would have led to their prompt arrest.
Learn some actual history.
@@-oiiio-3993 every person commenting likely "knows" more about history than you. As in they didn't memorize some facts they were told and hold it as canon. Most people here have spent days, weeks, months or years researching on their own, free from the myriad biases of Western Education and drawing their own conclusions, rather than being given said conclusions.. Can you explain the aged (very permanent) columns? Can you explain 50+ year old trees butted up to said columns? No, you can't. Same as anybody else.
PS Walking in to a conversation and going ad hominem (Numerous comments before this) from go endears you to nobody. Not people of your point of view, nor the inverse.
@@sidneysill8495
You, as so many others here, make foolish and inaccurate assumptions.
The columns are not ancient and were constructed (of staff applied to armatures) to appear aged. Research the methods used contemporaneously by Hollywood set designers, particularly for D.W. Griffith's Babylon sets for _Intolerance._
I have provided links elsewhere in this comment section that include detailed information from the firm contracted to transplant hundreds of adult trees to the fair site as well as invoices, photographs of such work in progress.
Do actual research, use legitimate sources.
There was absolutely nothing 'ancient' about the structures of the Panama Pacific Exposition.
If Only these reels could talk! And if only some of these inheritors papers could be found!
I feel like I just watched something profane yet profound.
It would be nice if you played some music from the era shown here.
No children only one toddler, and a fairy and a smaller child as a soldier.
Do I need to ask for you permission to use the movie of that fairy to do a voice over comment of what i see going on in that video?
Just the part with thr fairy...

This was going on durring ww1, do you think people would waste the man power and resources to build those massive towns, and all out of plaster? Plaster take 2-3 days to dry before you can even paint it, youd need months of perfect weather to accomplish this. Stay closed minded plaster people, youre easier to manipulate and sell things to which makes my job easier.
Yes, and that area of the San Francisco city peninsula frequently has fog/moisture moving inland over night from the nearby Pacific Ocean.
I also think we lost FAR MORE due to WW I than they wanted to document. In terms of technology and standard of living.
There is literally a video in 1964 showing and explaining that the structures were built by temporary and cheap materials
The structures were built in 1914 - 15 as is very well documented.
Rome was built in 2000+ years... Amerika can do that in 2 or 3 years hahahahahaha

Try actual research (and punctuation).
@-oiiio- or is it you that's the gullible one? Believing everything mainstream academia has been spoon feeding you, when in actuality if YOU did your own research you would find that there really isn't anything showing the construction photos for any of the expos, only destruction and a few photos that show some repairs being done or additions etc. But go ahead and believe that all of those structures were constructed in such a short amount of time only to usually always be burned down not long after by some random accident that makes no sense.
Also correcting someone's grammar on here just because you don't like or agree with what someone says is irrelevant, twat:)

Most of the structures of the 1915 fair were constructed of staff (a plaster like substance) molded over steel and wood armatures. Yes, they looked like aged stone, just as new Hollywood film sets can look like aged stone.
@@-oiiio-3993 you believe that with 100% certainty? The sculptures,art , building design couldn't be done in 2 3 years. How long did they prep for this. Think it thoroughly, the immense size of the place and its detail.

@@grumpystony
Yes, I do and you are wrong.
Research how it was done and you will be impressed. Your notion that those 'statues' (casts) would take years to create is laughable to those who know the actual history of the fair.
How many 'years' would you guess it took to design and build the sets for D.W. Griffith's epic 1916 film, Intolerance? What do you suppose they were made of?
Honestly feels like I’m watching college kids.. ruining around like they’re in a tour.
This claimes to be 16mm footage of the 1915 Pan-Pacific Exposition. Sorry. 16mm film was not introduced until 1924.
