1960s travelogue of Hawaii in beautiful colour. Shots of flowers, mid century architecture and dolphins.
Clip Ref: CF/VM/373.1
I was born in 1969 on Oahu. Life was beautiful. Neighbors were family. Playing football on street and riding our bikes was the way we passed our time.
This is a British Pathe film with a redone American English voiceover, simply reading the same original narration by a British announcer.
I was born in the early 80s, but I would have loved to see Hawaii in the 60s!
you would have loved it...just loved it🌴🌊🌴😄
I was born in the early 30's. You should have seen how Honolulu was and Oahu for that matter.
@@howellwong11 Did you see much of the countryside/nature?
@@phillynott1060 As a poor kid, I didnit travel much, but where I was born near the mouth of Kalihi Stream, it was all country side and fish ponds. The Oahu Prison Farm also took up a lot of space. Then there are the railroad tracks. It was a paradise for kids. Oahu was mainly pineapple and sugar cane fields, when my father took me on trips around the island. I remember stopping along the highway near Mokapuu Point to pick guavas.
@@howellwong11 It sounds like a very tropically beautiful place, I can't imagine being able to stop at the side of the road to pick a fruit which is so incredibly rare in the country live in. It sounds like a paradise for everyone. How is it these days?
1:12 -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumpei_Akaji - Bumpei Akaji's sculpture, "Birds Aloft" (Ala Moana (Shopping) Center) - 1966 (credit: wikipedia); 1:29 - Sea Life Park; 2:24 - the iLiKai Hotel in Waikiki, which is still there (much like the Sea Life Park (a major tourist attraction).
Born 64, I remember the time when our doors were kept unlocked and I was on Checkers and Pogo.
Cool ..I was born in '59 and lived on mio mio loop then in Waikiki at the Gregg apts, yeah didn't have to lock stuff up like ya' do now
Did you have a chance to reach into the jug of pennies?
"...Life is as modern as anything else in 20th century America. Local architecture adds its own vernacular charm to the skyscraper elegance of the big city skyline...here in the great expanse of the Pacific, an island community has every convenience of big city life..."
They really messed up Ala Moana shopping center. I remember all the koi ponds in the middle of the mall.
Click "Like" if you remember these days ...growing up here during this time. Such a trip to see the changes. And my mother has seen changes from long before this...try 1927!
Time where hawaii was the most newly tourist spot around the world where urbanization is not that vast
love it
Hawaii has become way over developed ! it's lost its Hawaiianess and becoming homogenized with every other city in the world
And let's not forget the Chinese have taken it over
look how blue the water was. F POLLUTION!!
Based on the cars I’d say late 60’s is when it was filmed.
Is this really the 60's? This sort of looks like the 70's because of how modern it looks for 1960's Hawaii. And if this is the 60's is this the late or mid 60's?
It seems that the year was 1967. This British Pathé newsreel proves it: ua-cam.com/video/1ODk2RQqFjg/v-deo.html .
It's 1967.
