Not offered: its uploader or archive marks it public domain, and nothing the site holds bears that out (its record gives no year, or a year from 1978 on, which no US term has left), so where it is free is not known. Unclear is not offered. Open it at the Europeana.

About

Footage of an official excursion to the Harlingen harbour works. It was a meeting of members of the Frisian provincial government, the municipality of Harlingen, the Lower House and several prominent Frisian "captains of industry". The aim was to convince the guests of the great importance of Friesland harbour, or Nieuwe Willemshaven in Harlingen. The aim was to use the politicians to persuade the minister to grant a subsidy for the restoration of the hitherto unusable Nieuwe Willemshaven. Shots: Harlingen quay; a group of gentlemen entering the docks; shots of the inner harbour: entering Harlingen + baron Van Harinxma thoe Slooten, Queen's Commissioner in Friesland, posing in profile. INTERMEDIATE PHOTOS: Town centre (shots from above), many people on their feet, band on wagon; collection action scouts by wagon with cardboard pig. Inscription: \"Help us, make this pig fat and heavy for the salvation of hundreds of children every year"; cu girl scouts collecting money in collection bags. Total 45. Harlingen quay: a group of gentlemen are entering the landing stage; shot of the harbour pan along gentlemen who are posing, probably accompanied by Simonz, mayor of Harlingen and Hiemstra, member of the Dutch parliament.
