1857 Revolt - Rare 1912 Movie ( Silent )

: Shot at locations around Bermuda ranging from Tom Moore's Jungle to Flatts Village to the narrow lanes of St. George, the one-reel silent movie Relief of Lucknow was filmed on the Island in 1912 by a production team from the New York-based Thomas Edison Inc. Owned by the celebrated inventor, the first commercially exhibited motion pictures in the United States were produced by the Edison studio. Relief of Lucknow -- made to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the sepoy siege of that city during the Indian rebellion against British rule -- was one of about a dozen short films the Edison company shot in Bermuda in the winter and spring of 1912. Other pictures filmed here that year include one of the earliest versions of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic Treasure Island and a melodrama titled The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter. All of these silent movies are now believed to be lost with the exception of about ten minutes of Relief Of Lucknow -- which constitutes some of the earliest known motion picture footage ever shot in Bermuda. Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion of the Queen's Own Regiment, then stationed in Bermuda, were pressed into service for the film's battle sequences. And a miscalculation by a special effects technician working on the film resulted in the veranda of a house in Flatts being blown off during the production.

========================
We quote :-

" one of the oldest viaducts constructed during the inception of Rail Connectivity between Bombay and Poona dating back to the year 1858 still strong situated in the breath taking Bore Ghat section between Karjat & Lonavala.

The viaduct had 2 Meter gauge lines running at the start , later when the line was converted to Broad gauge it could only accommodate a single broad gauge line while additional lines were constructed parallel to this viaduct far apart. "

Very Interesting

This Viaduct is still operational.
