Historic Old Oahu 1940 - Part One

We recently discovered several vintage 16mm films depicting old Hawaii. The films were originally taken by an unknown photographer for his own, personal enjoyment while on his way from San Jose to Austrailia in 1940. We purchased them at a garage sale at the house at an old local orchardist. The films were converted to digital by volunteers from the California Pioneers of Santa Clara County who used their telecine processor to preserve historic images at no charge. Thank you! This fifth installment focuses on the island of Oahu. The cameraman and his family left for Hawaii from San Francisco on board The Lurline. He edited into it a few shots of downtown Honolulu from a later trip from around 1951. All Rights Reserved.
