Absolutely fascinating! I also thought the background music was inappropriate and irritating, however on my second viewing I thought it was okay. Very soothing and retrospective and it bridges the gap between then and now. My grandparents from Brooklyn took this trip around this time (married in 1929) before my mother (may she rest in peace) was born in 1933. Thank you for posting this!
It's so different than it was when my family went in the sixties. How great it must have been to take a ship ride from Manhattan. We live in Elizabeth, spent a whole week. What great vacations those were. Disney world opened in Florida, then things changed. Hey 95 wasn't even finished yet. Keansburg was great 👍 . We are all in our sixties now . I'll share this with family members. Thanks.
These films are great. But the selected background music is really irritating (especially with those incessant digital drum beats). Should've used time -appropriate music.
a fake intro with real footage, nicely done, possibly a college film project. i saw this ferry boat, rusting away, at City Island NY. in 1979. it was to have been converted into a restaurant and night spot - good luck with that idea !
Ugh.... the background music is so loud and annoying I can't watch the video how ridiculous. We edit the video without the music or some better time period music much quieter in the background otherwise stop posting
I agree. My first thought at seeing this. It was a different world. No Jews permitted at country clubs either. At least we have made progress since 1929 or 1930.
Who gives a crap. Everything is not about what color was there!!! Mayor Eric Adams of NYC stated he did not want white people from Ohio moving into Harlem. I guess to say that is OK!!

The music was over done. But the video was great!
I love keansburg so much I don’t know why but I lived in multiple other places and once I moved to keansburg it has just became home for me

It's absolutely Insidious. It's too loud an obnoxious. Whoever produces video has little experience and poor judgement
The music doesn't match the video , but the film footage is great. Thank you for this post.
Brian Janik - thanks for sharing your 4 videos of Keansburg. When were the films shot?
Anyone know what year?
Boat was built in 26 so anything after that
I took that ferry to Keansburg when I was very young, before it was destroyed by fire & hurricanes 😞
I was going to ask what happened to the pier. Long gone in my time
Somebody thought to put keansburg on the map. Ty for honoring my hometown.
Nice to see these videos
This would be so much better with period music, still good as is but I had to watch it with no sound
Good video ,annoying music . Watched with sound turned off
8:19 when people could fit in tiny trains.
Remember the Bumper Car Psychos 😂

Background music is inappropriate and way too loud
Looks like there's more ppl going to keansburg

Great vintage footage but narration woukd have been better than that annoying music
Really boring music and it doesn’t match the video.
