The Ship 'Terra Nova' Leaving Harbour (1910)

The Ship 'Terra Nova' Leaving Harbour Towards the South Pole (unknown director, 1910)
I love watching the early actualities.  This is a later one from the fantastic British Film Insitute's YouTube page with hundreds of uploads of early films from their collection.  In this one from 1910, three edits are visible for the compression of time.  Step out of a contemporary mindset and just be swept in by the sheer beauty of seeing movement on screen.
