The Bob Marley Museum in Kingston

The Bob Marley legend lives on at the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston Jamaica. Memorials, tributes, and exhibits to Bob Marley and his music can be seen throughout Jamaica. The Bob Marley Museum, housed in a former residence and recording studio of the legendary reggae artist, is the best of the bunch.

Located in uptown Kingston, the Bob Marley Museum is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 am to 4 pm. An hour-long tour by one of the Rastafarian guards costs about $10 and provides valuable insights into Marley's life and the opportunity to view artifacts and exhibits from his life.

Marley was born in Nine Mile in north-central Jamaica, the son of a white British naval officer and a black Jamaican. Growing up in Kingston Town Bob Marley lived in the slums of Trenchtown. In Kingston Town Bob Marley became friends with Bunny Livingston (later known as Bunny Wailer) and Peter McIntosh (later known as Peter Tosh). Together, the three formed the ska reggae group The Wailers.

The Wailers had several hits in Jamaica in the 1960s, including during a successful period when they teamed up with the pioneering dub producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry. In the late 1960s in Kingston Town Bob Marley and the other Wailers embraced Rastafarianism, which remained an important influence on Bob Marley music and lyrics for the rest of his career.

Bob Marley music came to the world's attention in 1973, after the group was signed with Island Records and Eric Claption scored a #1 hit in America with the Marley composition 'I Shot the Sheriff.' Albums such as Catch a Fire (1973), Natty Dread (1975), and Uprising (1980) cemented the Bob Marley legend.

Bob Marley was also an important ambassador for international peace, racial harmony, and unity in Jamaican policies. His political activities led to an assassination attempt in his Kingston home in 1976, now the site of the Bob Marley Museum.

The Bob Marley legend has only grown since his death of cancer in 1981 at the age of 36. Marley is revered as a national hero throughout Jamaica and as a musical genius by listeners across the world.
The Bob Marley Museum celebrates Marley's life and music. Marley's former studio is now an exhibit hall and theatre. His bedroom is preserved exactly as he left it. Other exhibits document media coverage of his life, provide a replica of a period reggae music store, and display his gold and platinum records. The building is decorated by colourful Rastafarian flags and a vibrant statue of Marley sits in the garden of the Bob Marley museum.
An excellent gift store has Bob Marley music and paraphernalia of every kind.

The Pirate Ship, A small poem by Stephen Southwold, 1887 - 1964. If anyone is out there who can help me find more about this writer I would be very happy.

ep 2010
The Pirate Ship, A wonderful rhyme by Stephen Southwold. Enjoy
 THE PIRATE SHIP
BY STEPHEN SOUTHWOLD
Ye olde

Pirate's Cavern.

We launched our ship upon the wave,
My hardy crew and I,
We grazed the bar - a narrow shave -
Then raised our flag on high.

And, underneath our pirate flag,
We sailed the seven seas ;
We skirted Michael's towering crag,
But bumped the Pyrenees!

We took a galleon near the line ;
We sacked a town in Spain,
We raided palace, camp, and mine;
We ruled the Spanish Main.

We fought great fleets from everywhere,
With cutlasses and dirks,
And twenty five princesses fair
We rescued from the Turks.

My crew are Tom and Jack and Nell,
The sea, our play-room floor;
The pirate ship's a bath as well ;
The harbour-bar the door!
My

Crew are Tom and Jack and Nell.
You'll walk the plank me hearties
The wonderful Stephen Southwold, one of the many names he used during his long career in writing. But it is mainly as Stephen Southwold that the children that read his wonderful poems and rhymes. He used quite a few other names when his birthdays took him past the children's tales and into the adult story world, gone the fairies and the pirate ships, the froggies and crocodiles, he now had to face the two world wars that followed him though his mid life. But a brilliant writer writes on as long as the world will keep on reading , but as usual time makes us humans grow older and one day in 1964, he left this world to travel to another where hopefully he is still writing wonderful stories, hopefully for the children of the Universe.
