In the 1950s, Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagaula, Mississippi, began building luxury passenger liners. On September 4, 1958, the S.S. Brasil, at the time the largest ocean liner ever built in the Deep South, was delivered to Moore-McCormack Lines. Ingalls also constructed its sister ship the S.S. Argentina. In August 1972, the S.S. Brasil was purchased and operated by Holland America Lines and renamed Volendam III. The ocean liner passed to many owners until it was scrapped in late 2004. The M.S. Renaissance can be seen in the background. Slide labeled 2d Ship Renaissance Barbados.

Steel pan music is most often associated with Trinidad and Tobago, where the art form originated, but the music is also popular in Barbados. Steel pans are made from oil drums that have had the drum head shaped with slopes and slants to make music note sounds. These drums have been painted blue and yellow to reflect the Barbados flag colors. This steel pan band includes a musician using shak-shaks (similar to maracas), which is a hollow rattle used in the Lesser Antilles. Cockspur Fine Rum box, pictured, has been produced in Barbados since 1884, when Danish seaman Valdemar Hanschell created the rum, which is distilled from fermented molasses. The cruise terminal, pictured, would contain departments to manage cruise passengers, such as Immigration and Customs. Slide labeled Barb 8.
