Rare colour home movie footage of the island shot by a passenger aboard the luxury liner ”Monarch of Bermuda” in 1939 features the island during its pre-World War Two heyday as a resort for wealthy vacationers.
Featuring short scenes of various island locations and sights — including the Bermuda Railway running along Front Street — the film also captured the liner’s sister ship “Queen of Bermuda” departing Hamilton Harbour.
