Blue Peter - Saba - 1958In 1958 Dutch filmmaker John Fernhout made a documentary of the Windward islands, while travelling on the government schooner the "Blue Peter".Please enjoy this fragment of the visit to Saba. Thanks to the Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid we now have a high quality version of this. And if you want any more information on the Blue Peter. Saba's Will Johnson wrote a nice piece about the schooner on Of Saban Descent (Saba, Netherlands Antilles).https://www.facebook.com/notes/of-saban-descent-saba-netherlands-antilles/the-blue-peter/10150172374876319/
