About this postcard
An aerial view looks over George Town, the capital of Grand Cayman in the British West Indies, where white government and commercial buildings line a turquoise harbor. Small vessels and a freighter are moored offshore, and dense tropical vegetation, scattered houses, and a curving road fill the land around the waterfront. The printed caption calls George Town a fast-growing community, with new buildings going up for offshore investment firms, banks, and insurance companies. It notes that unused land remained available and that Grand Cayman was becoming one of the world's important tax havens, the offshore finance role that came to define the island's economy.
