Title:

The new concrete wharf at the small coastal boats' harbor in folks river. The three men in the foreground have brought their canoe by means of paddles and occasional use of the sail all the way from the San Blas islands to Colon. This is no small feat even for these San Blas Indians, particularly at this particular time of the year when the trade winds make very rough seas all along the coast. Colon, Republic of Panama, C.A.
