People of the Port: A Jones Island Documentary

The story of Jones Island. Few places in any American city have packed so many layers of change into such a small area. Jones Island is practically an open book that tells, on a miniature scale, the story of our entire region, but it is also a richly human story. From the cultural struggles of the early Indians to the catastrophic flooding of Capt. Jones shipyard.
