Hey Somerssk,

Great story mon, it must have been awesome for your parents to return to Seaford Town after all these years. Maybe you can reclaim the land and build an Irie little spot there. I was most impressed by how welcoming everybody in the community was during my two visits there. I guess it's all in the approach but give respect get respect. I remember an American Catholic preist, Father Vic was in charge of the Parish Church / Museum. The graveyard was next to the church and it was amazing seeing some of the old grave stones and inscriptions on them. The townspeople were very proud of their heritage and the history of Seaford Town. The 1973 movie Papillon was filmed primarily in Jamaica and they used the people of Seaford Town as extras in the film. In one scene there is a beheading in the main courtyard and the Seaford Town priest was cast as the preacher administering the last rites. It is my understanding that the final scenes in the movie where Steve McQueen jumps off a cliff and swims to a raft he had made to escape captivity on "Devils Island" while Dustin Hoffman's character remains behind were filmed somewhere along the cliffs on the West End of Negril although I have never seen rock structure along there that resembles what is depicted in the movie. In any event Seaford Town offers a view into the past and an interesting place to visit.
