California's Santa Catalina Island -
islands without cars

Mon, Aug 12 10:30 A.M. NH Create (11.4)  

Catalina Island is all warm breezes, Hollywood-style romance, and high-sea adventure. A favorite of Hollywood celebrities, Catalina was used for location shooting in the years before jet travel, when eight Tahitian villages were built along its 54 miles of coastline for the filming of Mutiny on the Bounty. Later, Hollywood producers brought in a small herd of buffalo to film a Zane Gray western, and as a result, Catalina is the home where buffalo still roam. And as the passion project for William Wrigley, Jr. who once owned the Chicago Cubs, this segment features a museum honoring the Chicago Cubs and their training on Catalina from 1921 to 1951.

About Islands Without Cars:

The unique new travel series ISLANDS WITHOUT CARS takes a rare and whimsical look at life without cars, buses or trains.

On small, remote and sparsely populated isles scattered throughout Europe, most of the inhabitants travel and transport goods by donkey, bicycle and other non-motorized vehicles.

It may seem like a bygone era, but for some, it is a modern reality.

The six-part series offers a fun and engaging look at the remote islands of Hydra (Greece), Sark (Channel Islands), Inish Meain (Ireland), the Aeolians (Italy), Zlarin and Krapanj (Croatia), and Porquerroles (France) through the eyes of a youthful and vibrant host.
