I'd guess that the filmmaker understood the importance of documenting the whole process, but the producer needed to edit it down to make it more acceptable for a general audience.Bob Holtzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878339327766256094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466695305125791022.post-63110537409211925842012-06-13T08:10:39.208-07:002012-06-13T08:10:39.208-07:00Thanks for posting these videos.

I suspect that this was the kind of film that students would be made to watch in social studies class, hence the attempt to entertain.<br />I am curious if there is more footage somewhere of all the skipped parts of the construction or if it has long been lost or discarded. <br />In general, I get the sense with this type of documentary that the people making it cannot imagine that anyone would be interested enough in this technology to want it to be documented thoroughly or completely enough to be able to use it as an instructional tool for building their own boats.<br />Still, I feel grateful that something was preserved.Wolfgang Brinckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314364206955412017noreply@blogger.com
