De Amsterdamse Haven in 1924 in kleur! Amsterdam's Harbor in 1924 in color! [AI enhanced & colorize]

Zeer interessante film over de drukke Amsterdamse haven bijna een eeuw geleden. Onze eerdere film over Amsterdam in 1924 komt uit deze driedelige havenfilm. Helaas zijn stukjes van de oorspronkelijke film beschadigd. Er is getracht de ergst beschadigde beelden uit de film te knippen.
Deze film is zonder geluid.

Very interesting film about Amsterdam's busy harbour nearly a century ago. This is originally a film in three parts from which my previous film about Amsterdam's old city center was derived. Unfortunately some parts of the original footage were damaged. Therefore the most damaged frames have been removed by means of software.

Amsterdam is the second largest harbour in the Netherlands after Rotterdam. In past centuries it was connected to the North Sea via the Zuiderzee. However, in 1928 the Zuiderzee was closed-off by a 28 km long dyke ("De Afsluitdijk"). Fortunately Amsterdam still has access to the Northsea via a 21km long canal ("Het Noordzeekanaal") that was dug mainly by hand between 1863 and 1876 when it was opened by the Dutch King Willem III. In another of my films you can see the construction of the huge sea locks in this canal.
At 16:19 you see a huge model of the Amsterdam harbour (it looks like an aerial view).

This film has been motion-stabilized, speed-corrected, enhanced and colorized by means of sophisticated A.I. software. Watch my welcome video on this channel to see how much is involved to get the best restoration results.
For those who are technically interested, this film has undergone a 6th step in addition to the process that I describe in my welcome video on this channel. This step involves the use of a special "temporal smoothing filter" that substantially reduces the flickering in such old films.

Music: None (silent film). I simply don't have enough nice copyright-free music to fill such a long film.
