This video is from Geoff’s Hobie Adventure Island Trimaran Pedal Sailboat looking at barges coming up the river with Bob’s Custom Outrigger Canoe in view. Barge’s were by far the biggest issue navigating the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers on our journey. One must anticipate where they are heading by considering the channel marked by red and green buoys.

This sort of documentary was made in 1941 (as stated in the opening titles). This short film depicts the culture of old Louisiana, including such aspects as slavery on cotton and cane plantations, the prevailing French language, Mississippi River trade, education, religion and music.
The film focuses on the elite and (wealthy) white families, such as plantation owners and business men. Sadly enough the delicate matters e.g. about how coloured people were treated in those days, are apparently insignificant. This documentary however (even when it’s not really an accurate survey of history) might still be an interesting image of the time.

We took a trip on the Mississippi River one day, and the water was up super high. My dad tried to get us to boogeyboard off the back of the boat, but we wouldn’t, regardless of the life jackets. Otherwise, it was very entertaining! Please enjoy!
