Pensacola Tourism Film 1964

Tourism film by Dodson, Craddock & Born produced on film in 1964. The Spanish music--well, ALL the music, is just hilarious, and the scriptwriting old school. Be watching for the segment on the Pensacola Open (held at the Pensacola Country Club in 1964) where the narrator points out Tom Watson in the blue sweater--but it's all in black & white!!! Shows the old Casino building at Casino Beach (Pensacola Beach), Fort Pickens State Park (now Gulf Islands National Seashore) and ginormous mahogany logs dropping off the side of a huge cargo ship into the harbor to be lashed together and floated down to Bayou Chico, where they were "processed" at the Mahogany Mill. A fascinating look into Pensacola's past, even if some of the facts are a little sketchy....
