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-east-by-north from high ground to the south showing six sailing vessels alongside the wharves. Also alongside a wharf on the right is the cable ship Cable Enterprise (1924) seen from abaft her starboard beam. Beyond her and moored bow-on to the shore 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 in the right foreground. The Vigie Peninsula is on the left and the lighthouse can be seen on the summit of the headland.
