Interesting Island Trip
LOL In the context of YouTube, “Holiday in the Caribbean 1948” is almost like a mini-movie, TDowl (lol). How on earth did you find this black and white documentary? The trips to Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Trinidad, Cuba and Jamaica were interesting. I couldn’t help being struck by the fact that Kingston and Montego Bay were so orderly back then, and the people so happy (almost naive?)!Originally posted by TDowl View Post
I also enjoyed the re-enactment of slavery days dancing as well as the music of Cuba. This documentary is indeed an interesting find

I was researching WW I & II, starting with Joe Clough and Sam King.
I am a big fan of Cuban Music and Dance, there is another one that I will e-mail you off this site later.
I have seen a photo of that diving platform at Doctors Cave Beach, but this video is off the wall. Finally see a video of the Trolley car in KingstonComment

Another Interesting Trip
TDowl, boss, ever consider changing your handle to “Historian” (lol)? You are truly a historian in the most real sense of the word, as I’ve been telling you since discovering your “Talawah” site some seven years ago!Originally posted by TDowl View Post
I just watched the YouTube video, “Caribbean Playgrounds 1955” and I must say that it was a learning experience. For example, who would ever associate the seemingly British sport of horse polo with India?
Seriously though, this was actually an interesting journey through Puerto Rico and Jamaica as the introduction of baseball and basketball in Puerto Rico, and also the development in Jamaica of polo, soccer, rafting, sailboat racing (MoBay) and Blue Marlin fishing were discussed.
And to think that I used to associate the word “Caribbean playground” only with the Americans in pre-revolutionary Cuba!
Thanks for another personally beneficial YouTube video !
