Amazing New York City around 1920 in color [A.I. enhanced & Colorized]

Amazing film footage of New York City about a century ago. This was the time when the motor car had started to rapidly replace horse-and-cart transportation in developed cities across the World. It resulted in cleaner streets, free from horse droppings, but also added to the already existing air polution due to further industrialization. Maybe I should have chosen “Steam and air polution in New York around 1920“ as the title. There are plenty of shots of chimneys, factories, trains and tugs belting out huge amounts of steam. The film shows many well know parts of New York as well as the arrival of the RMS Aquitania (nick named “Ship Beautiful“) in New York’s harbor. For more detailed information, please refer to the timeline below. The many original B&W film fragments have been motion-stabilized, individually speed corrected, enhanced and colorized by means of modern Artificial Intelligence video software. The music is by Megan Wofford. The tiles are: “ Iridescence“, “Evolving“, “Aroma“ and “Dear Mama“. So
