It's amazing not to see any buildings on the beaches. It's old Hawaii. Aloha was still alive.
Crazy no suburbs on the mountains either
I agree completely
The haoles caused this
@@evildax6815 Caused what exactly?
@@mattacosta6475 Buiding Hotels every square inch Of Kona on the Big island. Building Homes 1 inch next to each other . I lived on the Big island for 26 years. We have 1 acre lots on the east side of the Island.
I visited Hi in the 60s and it truly was paradise. The fun and beauty were endless. I have real misgivings about visiting it now to see it spoiled and no longer safe for tourists to do all the normal things we used to there. Think I’ll pass and just keep my beautiful memories intact.
Wish I could experience it
@@2thezazame too
That's gradually what's happened to all of America since after the 50s
It shows the culture and times....a time capsule. So different from today.
Wym culture ? Tourist culture not Hawaiian culture
I wish I had a time machine and could go visit Hawaii back in the golden age.... before it was completely overrun with tourists
👍👍👍👍🌴🌺🤙🏼
You’d have to go back to the 1800s.
That’s what every tourist wants! 😂
Wow. The last time I was there was in '77 and it was crowded. That looks so much nicer not all scarred up with hotels.
@Jaris Pilayo ikr 😂
I lived there from 1955 to 1956 when my dad was stationed at Barbers Point Naval Base.
Peaceful, no cell phones
I sure miss home. Awesome back in the early 1970's. Radford High grad. Aloha to everyone.
Bet the weed there was better back then too.
It’s probably from 1959 or 1960. They stated Hawaii is a new state.
David Barnhart Was it a colony before that?
It was a British territory known as the Sandwich Islands before being a US territory.Don't know if there was a period of course complete "Independence" in between those periods...
Post 1964 the F-27 aircraft was used by Aloha starting in 1964.
The film copyright was 1960 and was filmed in late 1959. Hawaii became a state in August of that year and this was a promotional piece for the continental US marketplace, since PanAm expanded their flights there from the mainland.
Before 1810: Various Chiefdoms
1810-1893: Kingdom of Hawaii
1893-1898: Republic of Hawaii
1898-1959: Territory of Hawaii
1959-Present: State of Hawaii
Was stationed in and lived in Hawaii, 1983-1991. In the early '80's, there were still remnants of vintage Hawaii. I remember the big pink Royal Hawaiian hotel, various tiki bars tucked in alleyways, monkey bars where squirrel monkeys swung around in a cage behind the bar. My favorite memory was Hawaii at Christmas. Hawaii was lit up so beautifully at Christmastime, it was magical.
1960 puts it right in the time when there were eruptions on the Big Island. We were living on Maui and I was traumatized by the news every night--lava and school kids getting sick from volcanic gases. The place where we lived was turned into wall-to-wall resorts in the late '60's...sigh. But this is the Hawaii of my childhood...
I bet you also witnessed the constant bombing of Kaho’olawe
Maybe be Pele will reclaim those beaches with lava …
The original travel vlogs
take me back to these beauties
Come to French Polynesia,Moorea where i live.Still a Paradise.
@@tauataua3833 You better keep that a secret otherwise it’ll turn
Ah, to have lived in the 50s.
I bloody wish i lived in the 50s...but as a white person ofc
Only the wealthy could afford this though..
No computer i dream havent grown up without it.
@@Nightbird.that’s how you keep things well mannered
All great Pan Am stuff!,,
This is the Hawaii I wish I grew up on. but it’s annoying living on the same island where it’s hard for us locals to even find housing because of all the unnecessary condos being built. and the most annoying, the rail.
I grew up in Honolulu next to the railroad tracks in Kalihi.
This ts my Hawaii. I left Hawaii (Honolulu) in 1953 at the age of 21.
That’s diamond head. No hotels blocking it🤭
I remember Pan-Am bags 😄and when kids were allowed to talk to the pilot and they gave you a wing pin for flying. I came to Hawaii at age 6 and stayed at the Pagoda hotel until our place was ready. My grandparents lived in Sunset beach before Hawaii became a state, and my hanai aunty told me how she used to work as a hula and lei greeter for the navy. 😄
Aloha 🤙🏼
The luau looked better than a modern one. That gal falling asleep on the catamaran would've got a terrible sunburn
I've lived on Big Island of Hawaii for 45 years, and it hasn't changed much, but drugs...
A story about the old days of Hawaii the golden age of colonization right before they built on every inch of beach front land.
But thanks to that Hawaii became more affordable so that many more people could enjoy the Magic Islands. Hawai'i is a magical place that hopefully everyone can experience in their lifetime...and should! Aloha 🌺
@@gomogo2000 actually it’s only affordable to those who visit. The people of Hawaii can barely stay afloat and are having to leave their home and move back to the mainland.
Yup
@@Adventures_in_AK so true
Greed. It makes me sick !
The passengers arrive on a Pan American Boeing 707, so this can be no earlier than 1959, as the maiden flight of the 707 for Pan American took place in October of 1958. EDIT: The narrator even says “In the new State”, which means this is probably 1960, as Hawai’i became a state on August 21st, 1959. EDIT #2: Copyright at end of film says MCMLX. This is 1960. You should correct the title of this video.
1959-60 Luau with food served on Monkeypod leaf-shaped platters on a Tapa table cloth. An "elegant" luau and the International Market Place in its prime. (Note: High rise boom was just beginning in Honolulu.)
Beautiful Hawaii!
Enjoyed watching this short film along with others you've posted! I'm looking for James Fitzpatrick's, "VistaVision visits Hawaii" tour film. It came out in July 1955. My mother is one of the tour guides and I have a very small scene doing hula. If you have access to it please post, if not, would love to know where I can find it. Mahalo!
Connie Woyciesjes well that’s cool...🤙🏽

@@CyberSpectator Props.
what a beautiful time to be alive
not so good any more by 1950 standards
let me count the ways
cheers
Me just watching a bunch of these Hawaii videos for no reason
Im just trying to see what it was like for my grandparents or older when they grew up in Hawaii
@@closmasmas9080 That’s cool
In 2021 the hardest thing to find in Hawaii is an actual Hawaiian.
🤣bunch of asians here bro claiming my people
We’re dying off that’s why
#HewaNui
Most of those with Hawaiian blood are mixed. Very few pure Hawaiians left but those with part Hawaiian blood make up about 20% of the population in Hawaii so depending on how you look at it, it's really not that hard to find an actual Hawaiian.
There are still Hawaiians, every island has some and there is an island that has only pure Hawaiians speaking Hawaiian in daily life.
I'm from Indonesia and I remember my grandmother told me that in 1960s you can fly from Biak island straight to Hawaii. Now you have to go through international airport to go to other country, but i remember before Jakarta become international airport there was Biak island (where i live) to traveling outside Indonesia.
Great Vodeo and Pan Am ...Great times never come again
Big Island reminded me of Northern New Mexico.
except Palm Trees instead of Ponderosa Pines
still, lovely, enjoyed it.
yes, Northern NM has active volcanism.
Why why I am not in those days? Good old by gone days...
RIP old Kapahulu...
Our first trip in 1973 they still had those old long boards for rent at Waikiki.
Having surfed Waikiki in 1985-86, the waves there just go on and on and can give a very long ride. Those boards were still available for rent, probably the same ones.😄
I wish the world was unexplored again.
The way things are going it will be soon
The world will refresh again
Definitely on the bucketlist, but wish it was more like this era on the video.
This would be my dream come if i could go back in time.
I got to go for the first time March. 4 2020 just before the 2 week quarantine. I was stuck out there for 6 weeks. Awesome without people! Still the cluttering of buildings and homelessness is saddening. Exotic beauty was much more valuable before tech took off.
Thanks for posting this great vintage travel film.
I’m looking for this on 16mm film or on DVD.
Thanks,
Hunter … Highway Cinema
Remember folks..only the wealthy could afford these trips. For most American's this was only a dream..
What things does society put in front of us today, that only the rich can afford? And how to they compare?
Who else was able to go to the international market place before they tore it down.
No way, Why...???
It was so good...!!!
Sad...☹
@@karenmcdonald4263 it really was, I’m only 17 but it’s something I’ll have to tell my kids about one day.
Thanks for being the bearer of bad news. What the fuck! Why would they have done that! Greedy bastards.
@@julesmo323 I haven’t been to Honolulu since but my dad said they built a mall
@@nickm4634 I looked it up after I read your comment. It now looks like every other mall that some two bit developer would build. Very disappointing and as I have fond memories of the place.
I’d like to see more Spam served at a luau 👍
👍👍
If I could go back in time to one place in time it would be Hawaii in its golden age
The Good Ole Days. 🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
For white folks sure
Friendly and gay. Lovely..
Back in the days when women were absolutely sensationally beautiful in the natural way
The thing that gets me is the island’s curvature looks the same back then
That building in the viedo remind me of when good luck Charlie had went to hawaii one episode and went to a resort
The guys wife is beautiful.
It's like a time machine
She did not! want to kiss that bloke at the beginning 😂 - good video 👍
She was saving it for the night...with the neighbor
The 1950's..!! it is a bit weird as the 707 enter the airlines in 1959..!! That's strictly in the 50's but a little step before the 60's..!! But anyway it was a very nice time to live..!
Video is dated 1960 so it would have been filmed in 1959. Mostly low-rise buildings in Waikiki. It's way more intense now (pre covid).
Very sad that native hawaiian people from these times arent owners of their own beaches and the hotels on them.
My best time was in the 80s 90s.
9:29 whenever I see someone with a camera I wonder what happened to those pictures, are they still cherished by family members?
7:54 World War One veteran . . . with his missus.
Gone forever😞
Pan Am began flying the 707 in 1958
sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong era.
Flower on the left ear means she is taken. Not the right ear. Good to no. No want beef brah!
OMG. This is soooo . . . painful.
People must have thought hawaii was a resort back then
Our great grandparents laying on the beach in bikinis.
I forgot all about the dancing girls when you get off the jet. Do they still do that ?
@Ogar Nogin: I asked someone 20 years ago about the leis for visitors . . . and it was already ancient history then.
@@QED_ Evidently after a few decades and a few thousand flights a week they needed to hire to many girls,
More likely from 1959 or later ... Hawaii joined the USA in mid 1959.
no native hawaiian was harmed in the filming of this documentary
Actually...one could argue
I've been to the United States a few times. It's great except there's too many Americans over there. :-)
WTF
@@richardbenjamin6706 Well yeah, Americans are kinda like bikers. imo They're okay by themselves but they can lead to trouble when you get a group of them together. :-)
@@MegaTmarshall every country on planet earth is unpure races that did not originally inhabit the land. Those with the best tech and armies always took it as their own. Only difference is Americans actually embrace a cultural melting pot. Name one Asian African or European country with "locals" being a range of colors of people. Illogical sentiments you have
I didn't go overseas to Hawaii 🏝 but I did travel to Catalina Island.
You should visit 🌴🌴🤙🏼
It's a shame. My uncle who lives in N Hawaii says that the beaches are littered with trash after the government opened it to the poor
Copyright Date at 13:12 is MCMLX...that's 1960 in Roman numerals..
Still plenty of land to develop. Top of Mauna Kea is perfect. Views forever. 🤑🤑🤑
is this really actual footage of Hawaii in 1959-60 ?
やっぱハワイといえばこの時代のイメージだよな！😁
そしてパンナム！😁
8:44 Barbaric That's why I'm a vegetarian

That is the voice of JACK DOUGLAS
The good Old days life is so short 95% of the people in this film have passed away
@travelfilmarchive Hello, I am interested in licensing some footage, how might I proceed?
The tourist hawai’i! They never show the other side
@Rafael Acosta And who cares (?)
@@QED_ we do 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌺🤙🏼
4:35 that is a long board if there ever was one.
Pan American Airlines the only American airlines worth flying. When they were gone flight travel turned to be the pathetic attempt it is today. I wish they would be back.
It’s heartbreaking to see Hawaii colonized
You are not Hawaiian why do you care
@@IslenoGutierrez I care 🤙🏼🌺🌴
@@GulfIslandRock you’re the ones that did the colonizing
@@IslenoGutierrezit was me, I colonized Hawaii 😈
Every one in this video has passed away.. rip ... make sure u live your life to the fullest ! With no regrets ! Fuckin seriously . Because we will just become a memory also !!! Follow me @enlightnd_one
Damn I feel bad for the pig they cooked in this viedo 😂
5:25 I wonder how old these young folks are today
Dead 💀 from old age I bet
@0:39 what's up with that map?
Seem like everyone is truly enjoying themselves. And living so carefree. now people just travel to get some social media pics and everything is a money grab..(tons of hotels, every little thing cost extra, etc).. whenever I go on vacation, I notice girls are so worried about how they look too.. girls in this video are jumping in the water, running around, not a care in the world.
4:35 dump truck
Everything is excellent as this video says except the Hawaiian native food. Go for the local food instead of native
Bruh stfu what's wrong with the native food ?
It's what my ancestors ate you'd rather come here to eat white and asian influenced food
@@dalastkanakamaoli9058 it’s bland and or sour and too fattening. Most people who try them don’t like it. Like 99.9%
@@dalastkanakamaoli9058 yes! I bet you do too
😢
Honolulu is quite the dump now. Homeless has taken over, low income hoods everywhere.
what do you expect they vote democrat
6:05
Everything is so pretty, But watching this is cursed by the fact that natives weren't even treated like human beings at the time... one of the most shameful stories in American history.
Couldn’t agree more.
Humans have treated anybody different that way throughout history. I don't continually complain about how the English treated my Irish ancestors.
@@ltcajh thanks for weighing in! I see your point and yeah, definitely agree we should leave bad things in the past. I bring this up though because most people (especially Americans) dont even know about it (not a word in public school history classes). Ethnocide and segregation of that scale should not be hidden from the very people whose country did it. The US government never even apologized.
Some facts for anyone who might read this comment:
>After American settlement, the population of Hawaii natives went from 800,000 to 40,000 in less than 50 years. Hawaiian natives were treated as the blacks were in apartheid till 1970s.
>The land on Hawaiian islands is still "owned" by the families and connections of the first missionaries that came on the islands (they are ultra rich now, obviously). This land was simply taken from natives, and there has never been compensation.
>During the Vietnam War, US army used the most sacred Hawaiian island for military target practice.
>Many hawaiian customs and cultures had to be saved from the brink of extinction. Many other customs and practices have been completely lost to history due to American suppression.
>None of this is taught or mentioned in American schools' history textbooks.
@@kukumundi I lived there, thanks to the Army, 2007-2010. People can sure do some evil stuff, and every generation reinforces that. I do remember the figures that you are giving.
You know it bro . Most people are unaware how the Hawaiian 🌺 Kingdom was over thrown in 1898, so sad how the land was stolen from the Hawaiian people . Aloha
Im so sorry we have destroyed this paradise. We tricked their Queen and stole their entire Nation.
Who did
WHY
All the haoles arriving in long coats & suits
