The collection of films that can be watched include “A New Film of Old Stories” (2011), “Earth, Wind & Water” (2012), “By The Sea” (2013), “Artists & Authors” (2014), “Our Mailboat Santiva” (2015), “South Seas: Captiva’s Enduring Paradise” (2016), “Buck Key: Island of History and Mystery” (2018), “Sands of Time: History of Erosion on Captiva” (2020) and “Tight Lines & Big Fish Stories: The History of Angling on Captiva” (2022).
In addition, two films that the CIHS created in partnership with the Sanibel Historical Museum and Village are available to watch free-of-charge. They are “Blind Pass: The Bridge That Connects” (2018) and “Be Our Guest: History of Lodging on Sanibel & Captiva” (2019).
“Connect with island history from the comfort of your easy chair,” the CIHS reported.
Visitors to the channel will also find the “Island Voices” segments, such as the one with Captiva icon Capt. Bob Sabatino in which he describes how he found his way to the islands, the early life experiences on Sanibel and Captiva, and the many characters who are part of the island’s colorful past.
A non-profit, the CIHS is committed to gathering, preserving, interpreting and sharing the history of Captiva, while providing education about the remarkable people and events that shaped its past.
