About this film
This 1933 black-and-white home movie captures the John Crosby family vacationing in Jamaica. The footage features idyllic scenes of a tropical coastline, with young boys playing and building sandcastles on a beach dotted with rocks and palm trees. Adults are seen relaxing on a building's porch wearing 1930s resort wear, including Panama hats, and later exploring a palm grove and dense jungle foliage. Scenic landscape shots include waves crashing near a natural rock archway, elevated views of a bay, and a glimpse of a large, colonial-style estate or hotel with distinctive pointed roofs.
