1940s PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO U.S. NAVY FASRON-105 HOME MOVIE KODACHROME 44984
This brief yet fascinating silent home film, partially shot in Kodachrome color, was shot in and around NAS Trinidad, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. The film appears to be from the year 1949 and shows mainly the members of US Naval Squadron FASRON-105 aka Fleet Aircraft Service Squadron 105. Much of the film shows jungle landscape, residential and urban shots as well as servicemen and their families during recreation time. The U.S. WWII war effort inevitably brought in an influx of US dollars, stirring the local economy.
The film opens with images of sunbathers along the stunning blue water coastline (:13). A Hillman Minx (1:19) appears. These were often used as staff cars during WWII. Service men and friends play relay games in a wide dirt lot (1:41). A large harvest of hay is drug in by donkey and cart (1:50). Two women play the three-legged race (2:15). Men and women strain against one another in a battle of tug of war (2:25). Luxury homes (2:59) preclude a baseball game (3:12). A 1946 Cadillac is pictured slid up against the curb (3:48). Youth splash in the water with air tubes (4:02). The camera flicks to the navy base (4:37). A cluster of Panamanians follow a young boy atop a cart led by donkey (4:51). A view from within a car driving along the road shows restaurants and shops along the way (5:23). A Standard Oil Company service station follows (6:05). A car cuts down a modern residential area (6:10). A Rototiller Farm Equipment delivery truck moves through the city past William H. Scott, Ltd. building, Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago (7:00). Primitive merchant carts slink up against the side of the road (7:07). A pair of cyclists travel along a modern roadway (9:18). An advertisement for Coca Cola appears showing the influx of American industry (9:39). Men including an African American sailor play baseball (10:03). A small sign on a car bumper notes the name of the squadron stationed here, FASRON 105 aka Fleet Aircraft Service Squadron 105 (10:40). Female counterparts give the game a try (11:08). The camera pans over the grounds of the base (11:29). A donkey and cart waddle across the street in stark contrast to the sleek modern automobiles (11:37). Oxen drag another small cart with a black goat in the foreground (12:04). The outside of the naval base follows (12:24). Sailors play horse shoe (13:08). It's believed that the part of the film after (13:23) shows a visit to Trinidad, as the J.T. Johnson Ltd. shopping center on Frederick Street in Port of Spain is visible in the images. A traffic cop signals traffic around a busy street corner (13:29) as a trolley car moves past (13:42). A vibrant parade blazes through the streets in feathered headdresses and bouncing snare drums (14:32).
