I’ve never seen real footage of Morgan’s and Tucker’s Island (where the NOB – ‘Morgan’s Point’ is) before . (8.15 and 9.08) and Verdmont before it was restored to what we know it as now.
My poppa would have been 3 years old when this was filmed . What a beautiful and peaceful place he must have grown up in .
