Black Coral (1968)

Maui, Hawaii. From a small boat off the shores of Maui, two men dive for coral. They bring large pieces of black coral back to the boat; it looks like the dead branches of tree. One of the pieces is tied to the front of the boat to dry. Commentator says “Soon it will be made into delicate jewellery for discerning women the world over“. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
