VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement or informational piece for the "Sea Island Service, " featuring the Shorts Sunderland flying boat. The main focus of the image is a map showing various Caribbean islands such as Trinidad, Grenada, Barbados, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua and St. Kitts with flight routes indicated by dashed lines. The text on the left side highlights that "The Sealand is chosen" for service in these regions due to its suitability for island-to-island travel within the Caribbean Sea. It mentions features like reliability and comfort offered by this aircraft model from Short Brothers (Rochester & Bedford) Ltd. Below this section are two smaller headers: "For Itself" which seems to discuss accolades or merits of Shorts' aircraft design; and "For Others" which may be referencing how their planes serve other companies and purposes aside from passenger transport. On the right side below the map there's an inset titled "FLYING BOAT PERSONALITIES" with a photograph of Captain J. S. Shephard along with a brief description about his qualifications or experience related to flying boats. At the bottom right corner is another promotional message emphasizing that Shorts were among 'THE FIRST MANUFACTURERS OF AIRCRAFT IN THE WORLD', indicating their pioneering role in aviation history. Overall, this image captures historical marketing material promoting air travel via seaplanes in tropical locations during an era when such services were innovative and expanding.
