Amazing to hear Irish accents on kids thousands of miles from Ireland! Superb film.

WOW! now that is a wonderful video from the past. When children played together and made their own fun and enjoyed each others company without cell phones or technology, oh if we could only go back in time, What a DREAM!! thank you for this awesome video I just loved it! 🥇🏆 💯 Karen from P.E.I. 🥰⚓⛵🪗🚣‍♂💖

Bert this film was so interesting!! You must have had a great childhood!!!

These children were growing up on the tail end of the polio epidemic. My father helped build roads on Fogo and took me there once . Parents nowadays won't let their kids play around on the water like that and that's too bad .

When I' watching this my heart tremble. Can today's children do this?
