Islands Without Cars - California's Santa Catalina Island
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.
