Single-masted sailing vessels moored alongside the shore in the harbour at Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Single-masted sailing vessels moored alongside the shore in the harbour at Port-au-Prince, Haiti. They are moored bow-on or stern-on to the shore and two have awnings draped over booms above the deck. The waterfront buildings are a mix of shacks and purpose built warehouses. In the background on the right and partially obscured by masts is the tower of L'Eglise du Sacré-Coeur de Turgeau (Church of the Sacred Heart).
