A real memory jerker - I was there in 1970 when HMS Minerva anchored off Jamestown for a few days. Napoleon's house was then largely empty, and my main memory is of the continual drizzle, although the coastline only a few miles away was dry and barren. Presumably the green walls shown in the film are not the original wallpaper - the arsenic used to colour it green leeched out in the continual damp, and contributed to Bonaparte's death. The French later thought the Brits had poisoned him, but after a programme on BBC radio a listener came forward with a section of the actual paper, collected by an ancestor who had been one of Bonaparte's jailers, and analysis showed it was laced with arsenic. At one time my photo of Jamestown from the sea was the only picture of St Helena on Wikipedia, but long since replaced with a better pic. Truly a great place to visit - but I don't suppose I'll get there again. (NB Ascension Island was interesting, too)

This is a place I have always had on my list to visit and that video, was the best one I have seen. I am British, born and bred and this is the place where my Father was born. He joined the Merchant Navy during the war were he served on the North Atlantic Convoys up to Murmansk and Archangel, in Russia. After the war, he stayed at sea, were he worked for Cable and Wireless. When I saw that, on the Map that was shown, it brought all sorts of memories back of my childhood. My father Died here in mainland Britain, never to return to his place of Birth. It looks like a true paradise and I hope to find out for myself one day,before it`s too late.

In the 80s, I had a work colleague from there. One year, he saved up all his holiday to visit his mother. He didn't show up at work when expected but we had a message to say he'd missed the boat back. He was known as an "expert" drinker. Needless to say he got the sack.

She used to come into Avonmouth and then Cardiff.. I worked for a small company who used to export stuff to St Helena and when we used to take the supplies over to Cardiff we always used to have dinner on the ship and end up in the cabin drinking Castle Larger if I remember correctly..I do remember one of the crews seconded name was Young but as I discovered later in Life the name is big within St Helena! In the film there’s a little old Green Land Rover which could have been one they exported and I serviced up ready!

I did two trips to St Helena - not Centalina, ha, ha - back in 1998 & 2002 (the 500th anniversary of the discovery in 1502 by a Portuguese ship heading for Brazil) Super old-fashioned service on board, top cuisine. My first visit I stayed with a local lady, Peggy, up on Red Hill, her sister drove me around, the 2nd visit I stayed in Jamestown, had a whole flat to myself, and explored the small town on foot. Also took a trip with Corker's Charabanc, plus a Land Rover trip into the wilder parts. It is called An Emerald in a ring of Bronze, as the outer areas are barren volcanic rock, while it is almost subtropical in the interior. Loved their accent, almost Caribbean, and all are so friendly, even the teenagers greet you - 'Hello, how are you?' even though they don't know you. I'm so hoping that the airport doesn't change this.

+Vivienne hart I think the airport is a necessary "evil" in order to sustain/bolster the limited economy. I too hope the island doesn't lose its old-world ways and charm, but I suspect with limited accommodations--and making sure no McDonald's-type cookie-cutter establishments ever get there--then I think the old-world charm will remain. It's on my bucket list of places I will visit, and as I'm from Boston/USA, it'll be a LONG trip...but hopefully worth it.

Except that Tristan da Cunha is not open for visitors. Zero encouragement for 'tourism'. Good: let them preserve their very own culture. The islanders are however open to sending their small boats to passing passenger ships, to interact in a small way with 'outsiders'. That's how I remember it (1999).

Climbed Jacob's Ladder in 1953 (passenger aboard Braemar Castle, headed for Rhodesia). Local lads would, for a few pennies, lie across the two ladder rails and slide down its length. Imagine those poor little "hand"-brakes! Returned there aboard Warwick Castle 1958 back to London - while at anchor some large fish took my hook-line-sinker, nearly the whole rod. Back there again in '61/2 on HMS Jaguar. I'm wondering if a shoreline artist is still selling images of ships anchored in the Bay. Thanks for this pleasant video footage of the place and very decent commentary - I learned a lot more.
