Clinton Castle was the home of the New York Aquarium until 1941.
In the years to follow, the city council made no less than six attempts to get this castle demolished.
Battery park where the Dutch made their first settlement "Nieuw Amsterdam" under the lead of Peter Stuijvesant. The city was renamed "New York" under later British rule.
The original film has been motion-stabilized, speed-corrected, A.I enhanced and A.I. colourized by means of modern video software.
