Inter-Island cargo

We stopped in the very protected Hatchet bay for the night and dinghy into town just as an inter-island freighter arrived.
The ship was built of wood that had been fiberglasssed over at some point in the past. It looked to be at least 80+ years old.
The captain and crew unloaded the cargo from the cargo holes one box and bag at a time to the waiting trucks.

It was stacked so high that the trucks just groaned under the weight. It was something right out of the 1950’s.
