The Sites of Trinidad

Richard arrived in Trinidad and got busy with his camera for the time he had ashore.  From the photographs it appears that he was only ashore for one day but had a chance to take in many of the sites.

As he went ashore his photographs are from street scenes and attractions of the city.  A photograph in the park relaxing under a palm tree.

At left a group of sailors gather on a street corner in front of a street cafe.  Much of his day was probably spent walking down streets and identifying things that re different and the same with their hometown and American culture.

Popular sites in any city are to visit the important pieces of architecture, typically including the churches and cathedrals.  As with many of the photographs of

this collection, the photographs of this Byzantine type cathedral at left and right is unidentified.

At right is a photograph of the fleet anchored in the Port of Spain, Trinidad.  This is the only photograph that I have found showing the fleet in Trinidad and shows liberty boats transiting to the ships.
