The pitch loading jetty at La Brea, Trinidad.
The pitch loading jetty at La Brea, Trinidad. The photographer is looking south-south-west from on board a cruise ship anchored offshore showing the jetty stretching out into the Gulf of Paria. The jetty is equipped with an overhead transporter system for moving the barrels of pitch from the factory on the top of the hill in the background. A long line of motor cars are on the coast road on the left.
