18th century Bristol, England is featured in the early portions of Muppet Treasure Island. A bustling seaport, Bristol plays host to countless merchants and vessels. The firm of Squire Trelawney & Son: Master Ship Builders has its offices here, and it's where the Hispaniola is docked prior to sailing. The city streets also play host to assorted street vendors, carriages, and wine wagons. Amongst the denizens of Bristol glimpsed in the film are George the Janitor (as a bewigged pedestrian), Wolfhound, Winny, various elderly women and children, and J.P. Grosse (serving as trumpeter for Captain Smollett's carriage).
