Kahop Journey 1931 West Indies Pt 2

This 1931 silent travelogue, Kahop Journey of 1931 to the West Indies, Part 2, filmed in black-and-white 16mm by Arthur and Kate Tode (Kahop) aboard the S.S. Mauritania, resumes their Caribbean odyssey. It begins in Venezuela with hand laundering outside a hotel and a military review of unidentified troops, then follows an upriver trip—likely the Orinoco. Aerial views soar over Panama City and the Panama Canal under construction, followed by Havana’s vibrant streets and environs. The reel ends with beach party scenes, Kate Tode and others playing with a puppy, offering a pre-war snapshot of leisure and exploration, last shown at home in July 1955.
