Abstract

A lone man standing on Mayaro Beach, Trinidad's longest beach with rows of coconut trees and rolling surf enclosing this stretch of greyish brown sandy shoreline. Description on the back of the postcard reads "This typical picture of the wind swept East coast of Trinidad is not offered as an example of the correct way of growing coconuts but gives a good impression of a scene dominated by the bracing trade wind which regularly sweeps across the Atlantic from the North East." The postcard is addressed to Miss Mabel Blackley, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A., postmarked February 28, 1933 and is numbered A12.
