Home Movie: Sightseeing 1920s Puerto Rico & The Virgin Islands

Genre: home movie

Year Published: 1920s

Description: Continuation of the 1926 silent home movie film from aboard the S.S. Reliance, where they go to visit Puerto Rico and St. Thomas of the Virgin Islands. At 2:10 they are in a port of San Juan, Puerto Rico, outside what is the original Jose V. Toledo Federal Building and Courthouse/Post Office. At around 2:43, the view from the coast looks like the Charlotte Amelie bay at St. Thomas, however at 3:24 you can see Rio Piedras (district by San Juan) on a bus - so not sure what exactly their itinerary could have been. Let me know if you know better or recognize any specific places! *Contact Regarding Usage* 0:00 Arriving 0:30 In Town & Countryside 2:10 San Juan Harbor, Federal Building 3:39 Went to St. Thomas 4:23 Bluebeard's Castle, Charlotte Amelie 5:13 Shipwreck from Afar 5:27 Charlotte Amelie Bird's Eye View, Waterfront 6:30 Downtown Soundtrack Added, songs from LoC: Viva tu Gracia - Banda del Regimento de Puerto Rico Ida y Vuelta - Banda del Regimento de Puerto Rico Sellinger's Round - Victor Military Band #PuertoRicoHistory #VirginIslands #VintageTravel #SanJuan #Caribbean #1920sFilm #HistoricalFootage
