Panoramic View of Newport

1900 · 1 min Documentary
4.2 / 10 · TMDB

Possibly the sensation of the flight of a bird can be nearest realized by being on deck of one of the U.S. Government's fleet torpedo boats racing at its highest speed through the water. This picture was taken under these conditions and shows the beautiful scenery comprising the harbor of Newport, R. I. In the foreground, the spray of the vessel and the foam on the water gives a fair idea of the rapidity at which this boat is moving.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a pioneering sensory experience, relying entirely on the novel perspective from a speeding vessel. It explores the raw thrill of motion and the early cinematic desire to replicate physical sensation through image.

What lingers after viewing is a pure, unmediated impression of velocity and the adventurous spirit of the machine age. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: James H. White
