Abstract
A picture of a man tending to his fishing net in shallow waters. Scotland Bay is on the northwestern tip of Trinidad in the Chaguaramas penninsula. It faces the First Boca. In the 1870's Scotland Bay was a little village composed mainly of fishermen and farmers. The village expanded in the 1920's and 1930's with the construction of holiday homes. In 1941, the Chaguaramas penninsula was leased to the U.S. government for the construction of an army base and all residents were required to leave.
