I Trusted A Stranger In JAMAICA And This Happened 🇯🇲

#traveladdict #jamaica #travel #island #carribean
These are the type of things that can happen while traveling. As i was waiting for another KZbinr, a man approached me and asked me if i had seen the Errol Flynn marina and other parts of Port Antonio that were very historical and had an important significance on the history of this area. I hadn’t even known these sights were in town and within walking distance so, i trusted him and we walked around town. This guy was actually really knowledgeable and even showed me the first high school that was built in port Antonio in 1748. I felt this was a good video because it shows you some history and some sights that you can also see on your visit to port Antonio.

The Jamaica colour is gold, black and green. The gold symbolize our sunshine, the green the land and black for strong and creative people.

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

Yes i was told this 👌🏽

I like that comment..however the Green is the vegetation Black the soil/dirt.

[@rodericknam5180]

​As a child we were taught the meaning of the colours of the flag represent as follows. Black;times are hard. Green, the land is fertile. Yellow, the sun always shines..

[@NativeNomad10]

​@@rodericknam5180As children we were taught that black represent the people. It's a song you are referring to, not what black actually represents. Black represent the creativity, power and versatility of the people to overcome difficulties.

Portland was the first place in Jamaica where cruise ships used to dock, not large ships, small ones. Because of rocks in the water which need to be rid of and make the water deeper so it could accommodate large ships. Which didn't happen. The government neglected Portland which is a very nice place, lush green vegetation, but crying out for development and face-lift. Instead of upgrading Portmore to a city or parish. Portland could develop and become a city.

I'm from Port Antonio born and raised. This is the parish where tourism started. And this so-called guide do not know what the hell he's talking about how could Errol Flynn started in Port Antonio before the slave trade? Before the slave trade they were only Arawak Indian here and for the person who said only small boat use to docks here not true big cruise ships and war ships use to dock at Boundbrook wharf and Errol Flynn Marina

[@CBM902Q]

@hyacinthgiscombe2597 Portland was the first parish to welcome cruise ships is a form of historical moment which should be kept and maintained. It's a shame it wasn't. Improvement could have been done. But because of Jamaica's lacklustre authorities who weren't thinking positively about Portland. They only focused on the North Coast.! Comment from the UK

That church is older than 59 years. It’s renovated though. I used to spend school holidays near that church. When I was a child those buildings were already there and I’m 41.

I don’t think Kemar knows his history. Did he say Errol Flynn was a slave owner? My knowledge is Errol Flynn was a wealthy man but he was a very famous American actor.

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

You are correct

[@beulahpatterson5797]

He didn’t say that he was a slave owner please listen to what he said, he clearly stated that he had his riches before he came to Jamaica and then he proceeded to make his point by showing him the information board to prove his point, he’s his a great tour guide to take the time to show him around I hope he shows his appreciation.

[@MrDman973]

Flynn recruited men into slave labor among his 67 other odd jobs in the years after he left home and before he found England and acting

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

Bro i swear i was thinking the same thing. Actually you will hear some history in the next video but also there were cannon positions around the town so im assuming this had something to do with maybe the British royal army many many years ago just a guess though

[@elturko1128]

@@PoJoTheBackPackeryea for sure. Sugar was like gold back then and Jamaica was huge producer. The Spanish and I think Portuguese(french too pretty sure)were also in those seas so I’m sure was to protect the British interests. Those darn Brit’s and euros man.

@@PoJoTheBackPackerjust looked it up. Western Europe was getting 80-90% of its sugar from England who was bringing it from Jamaica. I don’t know enough about Jamaican history with Britain but I’d bet Jamaica didn’t reap many of the rewards from those trades

Port Antonio is the birthplace of tourism in Jamaica. Titchfield High School used to be Titchfield Hotel, Port Antonio, Portland. Built by the United Fruit Company for wealthy passengers of their banana boats. The hotel was constructed in 1891. The slave trade is said to have drawn between ten and twenty million Africans from their homeland, with approximately six hundred thousand coming to Jamaica (one of the largest importers of slaves at the time) between 1533 and 1807. By 1807 then, almost 2 million slaves were traded through Jamaica many sent to other colonies. In 1845 the first Indians arrived in Jamaica to work as indentured servants on the sugar plantations that had been abandoned by the African Jamaicans after the abolition of slavery. The first Chinese arrived in 1849. The Chinese were brought as indentured laborers to work on the sugar estates following the emancipation of the slaves. The Lebanese/Syrian immigrants arrived in Jamaica in the 1890s.

Wow this is super interesting for me to read so much history here in this little town 👌🏽🇯🇲

[@silvadiva65]

@@MikaMile-tp3kp It sure was, until they built up the North Coast (Ochi) but I like Port Antonio as it is, just needs a little facelift. I suppose developing Boundbrook helps a great deal. My mother is from Hope Bay and she always told me stories of going to market in Port Antonio. My mother is now 89. My mother’s first trip back to Portland from England in the early 70s (she emigrated in the mid 50s) the North Coast was developing as a tourist destination.

This tour guide needs to brush up on his knowledge of places he’s showing to visitors! Errol Leslie Thomson Flynn (20 June 1909 - 14 October 1959) was an Australian actor who achieved worldwide fame during the Golden Age of Hollywood. He appeared in many swashbuckling films. He gained fame in Hollywood in the 1930s. Flynn fell in love with Jamaica and he and his third wife, Patrice Wymore, moved full-time to Port Antonio in 1950, where they lived at least some of the time on Zaca, moored at Navy Island. He was the screen's foremost swashbuckler. His best-known movies included Captain Blood, Robin Hood, etc…

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

He’s not an official tour guide just a guy i met on the street offering to show me around. I had read some information before i started walking around so i already had an idea of things… no fault on him he’s just tryna earn a buck 👌🏽💪🏽
