Preservation status
Although a few surviving prints from the film exist, no footage from the original negatives for The Port of Missing Men has been located by film collectors or the Library of Congress, thus rendering it a lost film.
In September 2025, Kevin Brown Jr., a digital silent film collector, and centrist political activist from Massachusetts, begin working on a project to restore some lost films by making a slideshow with surviving pictures and time and event cards. He intends to make the port of missing men part of that project in the near future.
