This early 1930s home movie is a brief travelogue showing a visit to the One Hundred Mile Island. This is a island that is located in Madang, Papua New Guinea, northeast of Tindimu. The film was likely filmed by a tourist or perhaps a missionary, and shows native peoples, canoes, and around 3:35 some unidentified boats -- possibly Tama Moana types, Massim canoes, sampans with traditional sails or even Chinese junks.

This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD. For more information visit http://www.PeriscopeFilm.com
