Barbados Landship 'Vanguard'

The Sugar Hill / Braggs Hill 'Ship'

I first became aware of the Barbados Landship when we moved to Lammings, St. Joseph in 1965 - we would often hear the Tuk Band drummers on Holidays or special occasions such as the May Pole dance

The Tuk Band for the Barbados Landship 'Vanguard' wassails through Sugar Hill on Christmas morning 1971. They go from house to house where they play a tune and are rewarded with a tot of rum!

This Ship was performing at Dover in Jan 1973 - I believe that this was put on by the Barbados Tourist Board as I have a photo of Peter Morgan.
