banana boats elders & fyffes
Hi I was on the Camito of elders & fyffes about 1959 and they still let you have a stalk of bananas to take home which I duly did but never again as they were so heavy to carry, had a sore shoulder for a couple of days after. We also went to Kingston, Bowden & Port Antonio where Errol Flynn had his island. Like you we had plenty of rum, Appleton Estate, morgans, three daggers etc., what a nice life we had then. One trip we picked up the princess royal, princess Alice, from Bowden who arrived by a train which almost looked like a tube train but I suppose it was Jamaicas best. Cheers shipmate.
