There are several boats throughout, and one at the end.

Amazing pictures. Is that colorized or original color film? (It looks colorized to my eyes, but I could be wrong.)

EDIT: It's color film! From the Youtube page: "London is the last stop in an epic trip across Britain filmed in remarkable early colour."

I have to say though, the "commentary" is awful. It reads like someone with no "funny bone" trying desperately to be funny.

Still, amazing footage.

Awesome! I'm so used to seeing that time period in b/w. Seeing it in color seem so surreal!
