#Restored in #4K, #60FPS, #Colorized, #Stabilized with Sound.
Information:
This film footage shows the early days of #Vancouver - it is the earliest film footage of the city, whose population was only 27,000 in 1901. It was shot by Seattle filmmaker William Harbeck, who was hired five years later to film the maiden voyage of the Titanic; he died at 44 when the ship sank the night of April 14, 1912

Thanks for adding the streets. I grew up in Vancouver in the 60's and as I was watching the video I was wishing the streets were added in. Fascinating!
@@BrightFuture2022 A pleasure. I could not avoid to dig deeper. I am here since 4 years only, but am amazed how the city and the people changed. So different those times.
Thanks for this, I was trying to figure out where downtown this was!
It would be amazing to run a camera down those same streets at the same speed nowadays.
I got about 70% of it right, thanks for the exact locations. Love that city. It was a busy place, people very nicely dressed, seems classy.
5:17 Lady crossing starts waving to us with her white handkerchief. She knew this would end up on RUclips!!
If you've ever lived in a city with streetcars, you know the joy and beauty and sheer convenience of it. I miss them so much.
But look at the pace of that street. People on foot, kids running, bicycles, carriages and street cars can all use the street safely, because of the measured pace. When cars arrived they changed everything.
But look at all the horse apples.
Only problem is...more people, more chaos.
Imagine that pace in today's cities that are 20 miles wide and full of millions of people. It would take hours to get anywhere.
Aaahh that sweet aroma of HORSE SHIT.
Such happy times.
Damned cars and their ACs or heating!!!!
My grandparents were married in Vancouver in 1909, so this was their world!
Wow
So neat for you to see then!
Wait so you are now 90 years old?
Not possible! That means you are 80+ years old. My great great grandparents were alive. My grandparents weren't even heard off yet
@@FS02012 What if his parents or grandparents just had their children later in life?
Love how everyone dressed back in the day. Really cool footage.
I was just saying that. All the men in suits and women in dresses. So nice and way more stylish!
@@djladyak but the ladies' dresses were tight corsage and very unpractical.
This gave me goosebumps, feels so real and makes me wish i could travel back in the past.
It also makes me glad I wasn't alive during that time. We have so many more privileges today compared to back then, damn.
@@mmjahink Jo JoB is a Ki
@@dbuc4671 Yeah, what you wrote makes sense.
Yup. Horse poop dust was good for the lungs.
@@mmjahink i didnt say live during that time, just to time travel as a fly on the wall.
My Dad grew up at 1925 Pendrell street ... born in 1913. My grandparents would have known this Vancouver! Dad told me about the 1 night the streetcar switches all had to be re-set for driving on the right the next day. Grand-dad drove around Vancouver in his Stanley Steamer.
You know what’s really crazy to think about? The entire area of downtown Vancouver was pretty much just a big field with some small buildings sparsely dotting it just like 20 years prior. In fact, the Great Vancouver Fire pretty much leveled the entire place in 1886. EVERYTHING we see in this video was built in a period of 20 years.
We can barely even get a couple Skytrain extensions and some new condos built in 20 years nowadays. They built the entire city.
My great grandfather came to Vancouver from Italy in 1906. Thanks for putting this together!
This is so cool, really enjoyed watching. Have always wanted to travel into the past and this is as close as it comes. Vancouver has changed so much even in the last 15 years but there's hardly anything left from this time. Thank you to the person who filmed this!
The man who filmed this died on the titanic filming the voyage.
Starts off heading North on what I presume is Granville, then a sharp right turn to Hastings. Vancouver used the British convention of driving on the left side of the road until 1 January 1922. " conversion delayed a year due to the time it took to retrofit the streetcar system, so it wasn't until 6 A.M., January 1, 1922, that finally made the to the right. the distinction of being the last city on the continent to abandon the British - system." (ScoutMagazine)
1.55 NO Victory Squ. Cenotaph ... no wars yet.
Thank you! Very interesting!
So, Vancouver held out longer than Victoria?!!
@@stevenbrucci Yes, why wouldn't it have?
Awesome to go back into the past like it was just yesterday! Love this film footage of Vancouver in 1906! I was born in Vancouver and grew up in Chinatown--not far from here.
Man, the amount of horse dung on the street was something to behold.
Much healthier than 5G
You wouldnt smell it after a week
@@jurjenvanderhoek316 Yeah, I hear the bacterial infections you can potentially catch off of 5G are way worse than anything horse turds could ever throw at you...
Now it's junkie dung
This is amazing! And apparently people on bikes were pretty bold back then too! 😀
Sooo cool! It would be great to show a Google Map in the corner so we know what streets we are on and direction travelling!
Starting 4:17 is along Government Street in Victoria from north to south. At 5:29 you could also see Challoner and Mitchell Jewellers which is at 1017-1021 Government Street. 6:05 is showing Weiler Bros building at 921 Government St. At 6:30 on the left is, I think, where Hotel Fairmont Empress stands today (construction started in 1904 and opened in 1908, you can see it was almost finished here but very briefly) and on the right in the background might as well be legislative assembly of BC, which somehow looks a little different from how I remembered it.
Thank you! You can also see the Poodle Dog Cafe in that first stretch. From the beginning it appears to be heading north on Granville in Vancouver, turning right on Hastings.
@@t3hjnz I struggled to identify the streets in Vancouver, thank you!
@@rickrickrick5317 We got a virtual tour guide right there :)
@@swordman2000 Always have been fascinated by stuff like this, glad I helped!
@@t3hjnz The trolley's passing by say Powell St and Davie St.
3:12 I kind of like how you can see two dogs crossing the street by themselves.
i did some research on the automobile at 6:07. License plate #147 belonged to J.N Elford who lived on 1119 school street. I think school street is now Ormond street?
stalker
@@elias7748 i'm a historian, all of this info is in public archives.
Amazing restoration! Thanks for all the work that went into this! I love living in Vancouver!
Wow you just gave life to this footage
Rest In peace to everyone in the video!!!
This video is really cool. It's like virtual reality. Almost feels like you're actually there.
Seeing that p burns and company sign is really cool!
Patrick burns was a self made wealthy businessman in the meat packing business. Was also a senator .
Very cool.
This is excellent work! Thank you for this!!
Bravo, I've seen this and its companion from Victoria (also on RUclips) many times and hoped for a restoration. Great job apart from the bars on each side that make it look like a cell phone. Hopefully if the other one is done those could be eliminated. Thank you for the worthy effort.
THAT, was completely mesmerizing and riveting - thanks
Fantastic! I just love the time travel aspect of these enhanced movies- really show how ordinary daily life wasn't much different then... except for different fashions & different cars !! 😄
Wow like stepping into a time machine. There is some definite footage of Victoria by the end.
Amazing. So nice to see (and hear) this!
This is impressive, great work :)
Would love to see more films of the era restored like this
Very cool. Thanks for your efforts. They really paid off.
I love the people catchers on the front of the trams.
Very very cool video to watch. However I noticed the Regent Hotel on Hastings street (on the right of frame from around 1:25 onward). The Regent Hotel was built in 1913 so that had to be filmed after 1907.
Still, the video(s) are obviously still from waaaaay back in that era. :-) Thanks for posting this! :-)
seeing the regent and metropole hotels is cool. didn't recognize much else of hastings street.
That’s amazing! They must have dubbed in the sound effects when they colorized/stabilized the footage.
How did we end up driving on the right? I'm surprised we didn't stay on the left after watching this. Also pretty neat to see pre ww1 downtown Vancouver, what great footage.
Absolutely COOL till the cows come home.Thanks for working with this moment from 1907!
This is amazing! A little cross section of time: Vancouver! Imagine being 18 years old at this time, to live to the Summer of love 1969 to have lived to see all that change!
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing!
5:50 You can see what time it is on the street clock. This means that they probably started filming at around 11.40 am that day and ended at 11.50.
Amazing restored footage where the audio seems improvised? Wonders which areas in Canada were filmed as I cannot read the street or avenues on post. Finally, there exists stylish designs worth exploring into future designs around @2:11-@2:15.
This starts in Vancouver, BC. I think it starts looking north on Seymour or Granville at somewhere around Georgia, if you want to pull up a map and get a sense of where it travels. e: at around 4:15 it cuts to Victoria, BC.
You can see the trolley for Powell St. and the trolley for Davie St so definitely downtown Vancouver.
It's not audio from the time. Anyone who has been on the older streetcars in Toronto, for example, will know that they are not silent, but fairly loud, and that when they go around a curve, there is a lot of screeching sounds. Technically, adding sounds to film is called "Foley", and is usually all about adding sound effects to create a more realistic sounding film. This film's sound is far from "realistic", but it does help with the viewing of it.
@@FarrellMcGovern thanks for that explanation on the audio. I suspected it was just manufactured and added for effect
Woah, water front down Hastings through Cambie , Pidgeon park, than?? And than Main st out by viaduct? That was amazing.
It ends at 307 Cambie St
6:28 - Is that the Empress under construction right at the end? I think I safely identified we are heading south on Government Street towards the Legislature at this point.
Looks like it to me.
Yeah, I did a double take ... Vancouver??? NOPE ...
So its going north on Granville then right at Hastings?
Interesting to see how slim people were then.
And just think: Every single one of them has died.
Time's short!
Joe Forte was quite a big man !
No GMO in those days. People ate health though not enough most of the time.
Actually the three oldest Canadians currently living were born in 1907. Unlikely they were in this video though...(but maybe a visitor from another country?)
That's how my wife and I take it, yeah. It cuts to Victoria at around 4:15 though, ending on Gov't St in front of the Empress (still under construction!).
Yep, every you see here is no longer here
This is a blended version of Vancouver and Victoria BC. It clearly ends on Government Street Victoria approaching the Legislative Buildings with the foundations of the Empress Hotel under construction. Misleading for people to think this is all Vancouver.
I live near Chinatown area across from Pacific Central Terminal.. Very close to the location shown in this video .
Starting 4:15 Victoria BC: Starts on Douglas Heading south, then head west on View Street, before heading south down Government Street; ending right in front of the Empress Hotel (Still under construction at the time). ALSO; I know it's Deoldify, and it's... okay... for filling in background stuff. But it's not the best. I've dabbled a bit with it myself, it's okay, but it's not there yet IMHO.
My big pet peeve: The Streetcars should all be a dark forest green rather than red. The iconic BC Electric Red wasn't used until a decade after.
No plastic. Love it.
The girl waving at 0:12 - Adorable!
pretty amazing what technology can do. Couldn't you program a drone to do the same route (if it exists) and then superimpose the two
Incredible, great work. Looks like down Granville, right on Hastings, slight left passing Cambie, first shot ends at Carrall. Next clip?
You're right. The province building is Hastings and Carrall.
" I'd love a time machine " they said. Technology replied " hold my beer ". .
I haven't seen anyone who was obese
To be fair, I don’t see many obese people walking around nowadays either. They be sittin inside.
@@AWSVids And probably washing themselves with a rag on a stick.
thats just racist....come on....you're better than that you flippin racist...
@@AWSVids Just like the 70's people got "obese" after that period. Sugary drinks might be the cause. just my opinion.
or like, non white ppl xD
The clip ends with the construction of Victoria’s Empress Hotel on the left and with today’s BC legislature on the right. This would be travelling south on Government Street.👍🏾
That was awesome. How far we've come in just one century!
Yeah, now we have drag queen story hours, genocidal mass immigration, global communism, and rampant drug abuse! Wow, such progress.
3:43 Owl Drug Store on Hastings x Main!
For some people, this could bring back a few memories.
Too bad synchronized sound recording wasn’t around yet. But good job on its recreation.
Bloody marvellous.
So many horses!
i'm here for the bike lane jokes
From 4:16 on is Victoria, not Vancouver.
Would love if you added small captions on the bottom labeling street name and direction of travel.
Why don't you do it?
That giant building at the end of Granville Street for the first minute or so of the film, what is that? The original Waterfront Station?
In effect, yes! That's the Canadian Pacific Railway's terminal building, opened in 1899. The building that would ultimately become waterfront station was built next to it in 1914. Fascinating documentary on Vancouver at the time here if you're interested:
ruclips.net/video/tsHMJma13bU/видео.html&ab_channel=VancouverHistoricalSocietyVancouverHistoricalSociety
You can jump to 16:13 if you're looking specifically for that building.
@@TheGlassPhantom Thank you very much, I will check this out shortly!
cool ich hab diesen channel damals für marlene mortler clips abonniert aber das hier ist viel viel besser :D
are we sure this is 1907? The regent hotel was built in 1913 says everything I can find on it and it's in this video. The sign is up, it certainly looks open
How incredible!
Near the end the camera switches to Victoria.
You are correct. I noticed that too. This is taken from a blended version off RUclips. I seen all. I lived in Victoria so I quickly realised it wasn't making sense. The Vancouver one goes up Burrard and ends on Davie Street, in the Westend.
From 4:15 seconds to the end, I can say with certainty that these images are of Victoria BC
Nice. Noticeable:
Almost zero cars,
people drove on the Left side!
Everyone vertical in this video-
. . . Is now horizontal. ; -)
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
soooo cool...
Make Vancouver great again
Picking up horse poop may not be attractive but must have been good job security.
Fantastic footage to put things in perspective. You'd think time would've improved standards. Could you imagine what those people would think of Vancouver streets today?
They'd think E. Hastings was an enormous pile of horse manure.
What is the function of the little building on the left at about 0:40? Anyone know?
Sidewalk looks blocked, perhaps construction to the left. Maybe a temporary structure related to that?
absolutely fascinating... man, think of the waste issues we'd have with out industrial vehicles.
Funny how the aspect ratio is only outdated by about 10 years
Just... WOW.
0:04 to the left. Could be the Mayor of Vancouver Oppenheimer.
This really is amazing to behold! Horse poop, and pre-crosswalk free-for-all!
Not to mention every single man in a suit!
Wow. What's a job!
Classy and sophisticated at that time. Before mass………
Wow! Is this the true sound or was it added for effect?
Added. Synchronized sound recording wasn't available in 1907.
Needs collision alert and Auto-Braking.
We'll work on that....
They had 'people catcher' nets on the front of the trams instead.
had a chuckle at the woman at 6.37. Stopping to wave a hello with her hanky in front of an oncoming "bus". Do that today in Vancouver....you're road pizza.
What a surreal flashback
Horse dung everywhere and no traffic lights at all. No automobiles! People cross the street so casually.
Welcome to the early 1900s
The amount of anxiety watching this with all the people running in front of the trolley car. lol. It would be very cool if someone would refilm this, going over the same streets in modern day.
Not very pleasant to see now.. would be a bit sad to see the comparison.
Where the heck did all those horses stay? Backyards?
Can you just imagine the footage William Harbeck would've have shot onboard Titanic? Too bad that he (and it), didn't survive!
It would have been the BEST footage of the TITANIC. There is barely any real titanic video out there!
where are all the foot prints and tracks left by the horses?
This reminds me of Saint Denis in Red Dead Redemption 2
4:17 ends with Vancouver and begins with Victoria.
Great catch! I did a bit more digging and found it was filmed along Government Street, with 6:05 showing Weiler Bros building at 921 Government St. At 5:29 you could also see Challoner and Mitchell Jewellers which is at 1017-1021 Government Street. I did some side-by-side comparison on google street view and many of the buildings in the video still stand!
Is this ACTUAL audio?? I didn't think many videos captured audio back then.
no
Is that the Granville bridge? Trams going down hill and one uphill?
My main take away, even 100 years ago people in Vancouver on bicycles were jerks. lol
Interesting how the road system was still the British system of left hand side. Street cars, horse and carriage. All left side.
North America didn’t fully convert to r-h drive till the 1920s (!)
DTES was nice and pleasant then.
how do they blur out the edges, anyone know?
Did anyone else spot the *time traveler* ? I won't spoil it for everyone.
