Seeing this footage of 1939 Treasure Island and adjoining Yerba Buena Island provides an awesome perspective of time. Even seeing the original eastern span Bay Bridge, albeit only six years into its existence, was also a treat. Today, a rebirth of Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island is in progress and yet there are still reminders of the original Art Deco building, now historical museum, still prominent when seen from the SF Ferry building. Thanks for sharing.

And in colour too! Who would've thought? I'm staggered how they covered all those floats in flowers!!!
Incredible film. Thanks!

@mikeh.7499 thanks for the excellent comment and -- may the mug serve you well! Happy 2025
Terrible choice of music for footage of this San Francisco event.
Always found it interesting how many people complain about stock music on silent films.
Just mute it...
