A distant aerial view of Castries harbour, St. Lucia, West Indies.

A distant aerial view of the harbour at Castries, St. Lucia, West Indies. The photographer is looking north from high ground to the south showing a couple of sailing vessels alongside the wharves. Moored bow-on to the shore on the right and almost completely hidden by the branches of a tree is an unidentified cable ship seen from just abaft the starboard beam. She is in poor condition and appears to be laid up. The main town is beyond the trees in the foreground.
