The view follows a curving coast road at Port Maria, Jamaica, with thick tropical vegetation and tall coconut palms leaning toward the sea and a rocky outcrop at the water's edge. Port Maria, on Jamaica's north coast, was the capital of Saint Mary Parish and a banana-shipping port in the early 1900s, when steamships carried island produce to U.S. markets.
