^{Good evening SFPS members & supporters;}

As we hope for the best, so we are able to resume our in person meetings, we will need continue to pursue what we enjoy.

It is with great pleasure that I announce this upcoming digital meeting, since my family is from Cuba. I found Mr. Craft's most recent book an excellent token of our Caribbean neighbor, which is "so near and yet so foreign".

The South Florida Palm Society presents "A Visit Through the Palms of Cuba" by Paul Craft, at our upcoming SFPS digital meeting. 

This event requires registration, so please do so below via the Zoom link.

Passenger services were interrupted in the wake of the 1934 hurricane that destroyed the terminal and railway connections to Miami, and were suspended during the Second World War, but resumed in the postwar period until the Castro regime closed Cuba to cruise ships in 1960s. After that, the S.S. Florida sailed between Miami and the Bahamas. - Courtesy of THE WOLFSONIAN - Florida International University (FIU), VICKI GOLD LEVI COLLECTION
