Clips are not offered for this film: a public-domain mark that nothing bears out (no year, or a year no US term has left).

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

The port of Rotterdam is repaired from war damage. At the bottom, in front of the quays, there are still large concrete chunks that need to be cleaned up. For this work, use is made of a so-called "Dipper-dredger", temporarily on loan from the Americans. With this apparatus, a floating sheerlegs with a huge lever and a mechanical happer, the concrete chunks are scooped from the bottom.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
