My name is Joe. I’m an 89 years old US Navy Seabee who was stationed at the Naval base outside of Port of Spain city. I spent two years there an greatly enjoyed
Ah so this was in the 1940s❓
I visited almost all of these places when i was a kid
I cant get over how clean and tidy everything looks....did we f*&^k everything up when we took over ??
Yes we did
We didn't take over, a small group of people took over. They shaped the narratives.
YES!
Thank you very much,a Trini.
Thank you for this I grew up in point fortin in the 1950s
I can definitely identify Queens Park Savannah,the Hollows,Gingerbread house next to the Cathedral in Queens Park West,Tembladora,Marine Square(now Independence Sq).One of the sequences looks like Trinidad Cement Ltd,Claxton Bay.
The first 4 mins is Trinidad. The rest looks more like Suriname. The Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Peter and Paul also called Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral can be seen @ 8:19
God bless T&T
Definitely Trinidad - Shouter Baptists procession, Nelson Street, the QP Savannah, Botanical Gardens and yes there were trains in TnT round that time.
Love it
Omg! so many changes....
What flag is that at 10:12?? It's not French, Spanish or British...
Adalene Alicia well its red white n black prob the first design of our flag.before the transformation.just guessing.
Beautiful....but what happened to the audio?
same thing nice but what happened to the audio
why no sound anyway loves it
That is the boxsite plant
The year I was born.
How is it known this dates from the 50's? Perhaps the flag can give some clue at least as to before independence.
@chaoticustt Yeh he mad, I born in '82 and I cud tell dis iz Trini!

@carzstuff You cannot be from Trinidad with that foolish comment! You can't tell me i did't see George/Nelson Street housing scheme here:nor did i see cricket in the Savannah even people enjoying the Hollows probably on a Sunday evening.You mad yes.It will have been a more educated choice to say all the shots were not of Trinidad.I even saw the Alcoa plant here as well you like you from somewhere else yes i dun talk!
