Description
English:
"Loading Bananas on Lighters, Montego Bay, Jamaica" early 20th century
Image of bananas being loaded onto lighters, small boats that were used to transport cargoes to ships. Groups of men and women can be seen round the dock carrying bunches of bananas on their heads waiting to be loaded onto the lighters. Others are loading up the lighters. Until well into the 20th century Montego Bay functioned primarily as a sugar port but also exported bananas.
