The Tragic History of Key West, Florida and the Dry Tortugas

[@michaelpowers9307]

As always primo! Took me back to the early 1970's when I traveled there with friends.

Thanks!

Truth be told, I liked KW a LOT more back in the day, in my case the mid 80s, than I do now. It's still a cool place, but it can't hold a candle to back when!

@paulw4310 My wife agrees😊

This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen, just spent the weekend in the Keys and stumbled upon this. Excellent work, man. The subject matter is really interesting, the visuals are helpful, you do a great job with the editing… I’m impressed, and I’m subscribing.

[@viewmastertravels5114]

Thanks! Hope you can watch more, maybe find some more interesting places to visit 😊

There is a cat sculpture done by Picasso in the Hemmingway house just sitting on a dresser. Heard they were friends. Enjoyed seeing the six toed cats on the property descendents of Hemmingway's cats.

So glad you included a selfie! You two are adorable 🥰

Thanks 😊

[@mikewatson4644]

very interesting. Like how you are able to find old maps to help locate the views

Quick trivia: The Sloppy Joe's Bar in which Hemmingway did most of his drinking is the bar that became, and still is, Captain Tony's. It's a short half block walk away on Greene St. Only for about the last year and a half or two years of his residence in KW did he drink at the "new" place. PS That parking garage they built at the airport is a travesty. It destroyed the fantastic view of walking out of the terminal and looking across A1A at the Atlantic.

[@viewmastertravels5114]

I agree on that parking garage, sticks out like a sore thumb. 👍

Woulda been cool if ya threw a bit about ROBERT !!…. That scary little bastard!!

[@viewmastertravels5114]

Ooo, not sure who Robert is? Can you explain?

[@stephenbaumann9964]

Robert is a haunted doll that a little boy owned in early key west… I believe he’s still currently housed in the key west museum… he’s a freak !!!

[@viewmastertravels5114]

Oooo, very cool. Sad I missed that, since we were right there, but didn’t know.

[@lucasbruhn8523]
