The pitch loading jetty at La Brea, Trinidad.
        
        The pitch loading jetty at La Brea, Trinidad.  The photographer is on a shore excursion from a cruise ship and is looking north-west between two palm trees from a slight slope showing the jetty with its overhead transporter system jutting out into the Gulf of Paria.  A cargo steamer is alongside the loading gantries shipping a cargo of pitch in barrels.  Two barrels are carried out in each of the cradles.
