Hon Alrick 'Bobby' Pottinger, who retired as Custos in December 2012, after serving for 18 years, agrees. Port Maria and Cabarita Island past is bigger than its present. Before there was an airport and big business in Kingston, Port Maria was the hub of commercial activities in Jamaica because of the banana trade when Jamaica exported bananas, coconuts, sugar, and citrus to the United States and England. Port Maria has a natural harbour. Everything came through here, and from the 1800s to around the 1940s when Kingston took over. According to locals the cave on the island was made by a Cannonball shot from Fort Haldane. ⭐ Points of interest: 0:00 Intro 02:13 Frontier District and Port Maria Town 02:55 North-west towards Fort Haldane. 03:16 North towards Galina Point. 04:11 Cave made by Cannonball shot from Fort Haldane. 08:20 Port Maria 09:25 Pagee Beach SUBSCRIBE NOW! 👉 https://goo.gl/sDr2yz Website: https://www.injamaica.com LOCATION: Find this place on Google Maps. ➤ http://bit.ly/2Kt3IQa 2019 Jamaica Drone Footage using the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom.
