About this postcard

The photograph, captioned "Looking South East from Bridge. Belize. 4-5.", shows a waterfront with several sailboats and small craft moored in the foreground and wooden commercial buildings along the shore. Belize, now Belize City, was the capital and principal port of British Honduras, and its harbor handled trade in mahogany, logwood, and chicle in the early 20th century. The scene records the town's low wooden waterfront architecture and sailing craft typical of the period.
