⭐ History
The Port of Falmouth is a popular port-of-call for many cruise ships and is located on Jamaica's north coast in between the other major port cities of Montego Bay and Ocho Rios.
Falmouth was founded in 1769 and named after a town of the same name in England.
During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Falmouth was one of the busiest ports in Jamaica.
It was home to masons, carpenters, tavern-keepers, mariners, planters and others.
It was a wealthy town in a wealthy parish with a rich racial mix.
Within the parish, nearly one hundred plantations were actively manufacturing sugar and rum for export to Britain.
Jamaica, during this period, had become the world's top exporter of sugar.
This made Falmouth a central hub of the slave trade and the now notorious cross-Atlantic triangular trade.
Many slave ships arrived at this port, full of West African slaves who were auctioned off to local plantation owners
In the Falmouth Harbour as many as 30 tall-ships could be seen on any given day.
Many of them delivering slaves transported under inhumane conditions and loading their holds with rum and sugar manufactured by slave labour on nearby plantations.
Falmouth was operating as a free port in the early 1800's.
This meant that it was exempted from charging certain types of tariffs collected at other ports throughout the island.
This encouraged many ships to dock at Falmouth Harbour, bringing with them a number of undesirable individuals, especially white sailors who were often drunk and disorderly.
The Stone Cage near to the harbour was built to hold these drunken, disorderly sailors.
When Fort Balcarres was built adjacent to Charlotte Street, that function was transported there to hold these disorderly sailors.
Fort Balcarres has been the site of a primary school in recent years.
Steamboats began to arrive in Jamaica in the 1830's, and it signaled the end of Falmouth as a major port town.
These bulky vessels needed deeper waters to dock, and Falmouth Harbour was not deep enough.
Several attempts were made to deepen the harbour, but Falmouth never regained its former glory.
Railway transportation was introduced into Western Jamaica in the 1890's, and because Falmouth could not handle steamboats, the town was bypassed for Montego Bay.
⭐ Present - Falmouth Jamaica Cruise Port
On March 22nd, 2011 Jamaica had the grand opening of the Historic Falmouth Cruise Port (HFCP).
Since the recent modernization of its harbour, Falmouth can welcome some of the largest passenger ships and has experienced a sort of “re-birth” as more visitors than ever arrive to discover the treasures this lovely town has to offer.
The port has themed retail shopping spaces alongside a dock with two berths that are capable of hosting modern cruise ships.
The port has been a stop for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s Oasis of the Seas (which did its maiden call on the grand opening day) and Allure of the Seas, two of the world’s largest cruise ships.
The Historic Falmouth Cruise Port is being pioneered as the first-ever thematic cruise port destination and commercial development centre, transforming the historic town of Falmouth, Jamaica into a host city for the growing cruise industry.

United for Jamaica (Full Documentary)
FR :
En 1998, trois jeunes amateurs de reggae originaires d'Aubagne (France) se rendent en Jamaïque. Ce voyage sera la source dont jaillira “Kabba Roots”, une association ayant pour mission de développer et de promouvoir la culture jamaïcaine au-delà de ses frontières ainsi que d'organiser des échanges inter-culturels. Amis depuis plus de 15 ans, ils se lancent une fois de plus dans un autre voyage en 2015, mais cette fois-ci, afin de donner vie à leur initiative la plus folle. Ils veulent étendre et solidifier leur soutien à la Jamaïque en achetant un terrain au milieu du ghetto de Rockfort à Kingston et en construisant un centre culturel pour la communauté. Le documentaire United for Jamaica réalisé par Charles Perez et produit par Blackstone Productions est un regard privilégié sur les coulisses de cette construction.

The trip inspired the creation of Kabba Roots, an association with the mission of developing and promoting Jamaican culture beyond its borders as well as organizing intercultural exchanges. Friends for over 15 years, they embark yet again on another trip in 2015, but this time, in order to bring to life their craziest initiative. They want to extend and solidify their support for Jamaica by purchasing land in the middle of the Rockfort ghetto in Kingston, and building a cultural center for the community. The documentary United for Jamaica directed by Charles Perez and produced by Blackstone Productions is an inside look into the construction of the community center.

Jamaica Mon! Dunn River Falls - Disney Cruise Excursion!
So we went on an amazing Disney Cruise in April 2017 and we selected the Dunn River Falls and Dolphin Swim Excursion. Oh my gosh it was AMAZING! The Dolphins were fun, but this River Falls guided tour was sooooo much fun! It was probably one of the MOST FUN excursions we have ever done and it was the 3rd Disney Cruise we have been on. So LOVED it! We had the only Woman tour guide in the Falls, I cannot remember her name but she was so cute and fun! Jerome filled this and it was just simply amazing! I would do it again in a heart beat! So worth it!

Jamaica Under Construction
Jammins Hardware (Westmoreland) has no signage. Such is the reputation of the family members Mikey, Andrea, Tasha and Tarik Badaloo, that building materials roll in and out all day long, like Clockwork.
All the unfinished houses and businesses are now being completed in style.
Thanks to a new energy in Jamaica, and superb businesses like Jammins.
