Camito and Golfito were our large (100 pax IIRC) ships. I didn't sail on either. I Can't remember Cavina.

What business was the family in?

This is Golfito leaving Port Antonio in 1962 taken from, IIRC, Matina.
The island on the left was once owned by Errol Flynn as was The Titchfield Hotel on high ground on the right. We used to have a drink and swim at The Titchfield in their fresh and salt water pools.





p.s. Sorry about the MN hijack of thread . . Trains and bloats and planes . . .
