The Legendary Stillman Collection
All of these films come from the Stillman Fire Collection, considered the best resource ever of how fires were brought under control in the 20th Century!
In the most dramatic footage contained on this powerful DVD, you will see the legendary Staten Island Ferry burning in the sea! This footage is truly terrifying for anyone who has ever imagined what the power of fire could do if you were trapped on a burning ship!

"Watching the Staten
Island Ferry burn was certainly a chilling experience. It makes me
realize that could still happen today. I’ve ordered other films from the
Stillman collection and have yet to be disappointed. The delivery speed
was great."
