Description
Cars, Barbados, 1965 The word 'Careenage' is derived from the word 'careen', which means to turn a ship on its side by attaching weights to the mast and pulling the ship over. Once on her side, men could clear the hull of the accumulated moss and barnacles. When this photograph was taken, further down the Careenage, there was a careened vessel.
