A view of the harbour of Port Antonio, Jamaica with the cruise ship New Bahama Star (1957) sailing between Titchfield Peninsula and Folly Point
A view of the harbour of Port Antonio, Jamaica with the cruise ship New Bahama Star (1957) at anchor between Titchfield Peninsula and Folly Point. The photographer is probably looking north east by east from on board the reefer ship Jamaica Planter (1959) towards Folly Point. The New Bahama Star is at anchor in the harbour, close to Folly Point. Two of the cruise ship's lifeboats are in the foreground heading back empty to New Bahama Star and a third lifeboat is at the foot of its accommodation ladder. A vessel, possibly a Port Authority boat, is in the foreground on the left hand side. This is Slide 38 of Captain Henry P. Bird's lecture titled "Caribbean Cargoes", about his service as Second Officer on board Jamaica Planter (1959) and Port Officer for Jamaica Banana Producers Steam Ship Company based at Kingston, Jamaica from 6 January 1971 to 26 April 1971. The lecture consists of 45 slides.
