    Love Love Love this Vlog! The Pera Tower was the highlight for me! Could FEEL the History!! Alexx you should do these videos during mango or ackee etc, season! You should get rewarded for walking through all that bush and macka! Mango, ackee, banana, cassava all good rewards!!😂😂😂 There’s so much to see in St Thomas you don’t even need to go anywhere else yet. Unfortunately it’s dem St Thomas roads mash up your alternator!!

    Omg l.had no idea that such an historical building was even there in.Duckenfield l am amazed l wish that as a child growing up we had History Lessons so what did they taught us such a shame thanks Alex
    For doing this
    It just that in England we were taught about English History was not much mainly about Henry the 8 lt was very Limited History Lessons which had no bearing on my life whatsoever he seemed to kill his wives for whatever reason suited himself and it was justified and accepted by the people

    Check out the Holland Bay Crocodile Sanctuary, chances are that is the site for the Great House. Bless.

    So the tale in high school history is that there were a high level of ‘master’ absenteeism on the plantation ie the plantation owner NEVER lived on the plantations 🌝
    So who were all those plantation castles built for 🤔
    It would not be cost effective to build castles just for the overseer🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇯🇲

    So we had places in Jamaica where slaves were held?
    What was the tower for?

    • @EliteJamaica
      @EliteJamaica  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The tower was a windmill and lookout point for the Pera Sugar Plantation
