This authentic 1970s color photograph, captured in 1974, documents the waterfront at Gilbert’s Resort & Marina, located at the northern gateway to the Florida Keys in Key Largo. The archival image showcases a busy marina scene with several period-correct yachts and motorboats, including a prominent white cabin cruiser named “Happiness” moored at the wooden pier. In the background, the resort’s functional maritime architecture is visible, including the main restaurant building and a large warehouse bearing signage for “Boat & Motor Sales – Evinrude – OMC – Mercruiser.” The calm, reflective waters of the canal are framed by native mangroves and palm trees under a soft, hazy sky. Established in the 1950s, Gilbert’s has long served as a landmark destination for boaters and travelers crossing the Jewfish Creek Bridge. While the resort has undergone numerous renovations and ownership changes over the decades—including a significant remodel of its 1950s-style motel rooms—it remains an active and iconic part of the Key Largo waterfront today.
