From Popeye Village.
Before being chosen to be the site for the production of the film Popeye this little and little-known bay was a peaceful place shared between a few fishermen. I think the pier was built for the use of the film production. Alongside the pier was Popeye’s ‘Black Pearl’ a real sailing brig/vessel bought/hired for the shooting of the film. The film shooting had been finished when a big storm damaged the pier and the old sailing brig which sank. In time the brig was rescued but found that it was no longer fit for sailing, It was hauled ashore, transported to Ta’ Xbiex’ and transformed into a restaurant as it is to this day.
I preferred the b&w version of this shot.
Many thanks for all your views, comments and favs. Always much appreciated.
