In 1921, Garvey travelled to the Caribbean aboard a new BSL ship, the "Antonio Maceo", which they had renamed the "Kanawha". While in Jamaica, he criticised its inhabitants as being backward and claimed that "Negroes are the most lazy, the most careless and indifferent people in the world". His comments in Jamaica earned many enemies who criticised him on multiple fronts, including the fact he had left his destitute father to die in an almshouse. Attacks back-and-forth between Garvey and his critics appeared in the letters published by "The Gleaner".
