Synopsis
Released in1927 for the home market by Eastman Kodak, this silent film shows views of Niagara Falls. It was tinted blue to provide a dramatic effect. At 2:26 the boat Maid of the Mist I or II is shown. These boats were built in 1885 and sailed closer to Horseshoe Falls than any had previously. These boats sailed the lower river until April 22, 1955, when they burned in a pre-season accident. Later that year, they were replaced by two new ships. The type and style of the boats is still seen today; they were made of steel and powered by diesel engines. See something interesting?
