Southwestern Puerto Rico in the vicinity of Guanica? (LOC)

  • RicanGeek said:
    This is probably Lago Lucchetti because it's next to the village of Duey, where Delano photographed that same month. CORRECTION: See comment below identifying this as Guanica Bay.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    RicanGeek: Thanks for the information! We’ll look into it.
  • RicanGeek said:
    Whoever tagged this Bahia Guanica is correct! This is not Lago Lucchetti, because the Caribbean Ocean can be seen in the horizon and Lago Lucchetti is not adjacent to it. I've estimated the location where this picture was taken and added geotags considering the location of the buildings as the town of Guanica and the angle facing the ocean.
  • ARCHIVO HISTORICO Y FOTOGRAFICO DE PUERTO RICO said:
    In my opinion, from a Guaniqueño, this is not Guanica. The whole town configuration is wrong and the bay and Ensenada bay are not these. Someone needs to check to see where this is exactly but it is not Guanica.

Rice and papaya in the lunch of a sugar worker on a plantation, vicinity of Guanica, Puerto Rico (LOC)

    I am sure that was a delicious meal, after a backbreaking morning... growing up in Puerto Rico, I had the previleged to enjoy raw sugar cane, this image is nostalgic in a way. Thank you.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The frugal kitchen (photo's & recipes), and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Carlos Alfaro said:
    i think that is probably the remnants of rice and beans rather than papaya. Rice and beans has historically been *the* staple dish in PR homes and the beans in PR are cooked with either pumpkin and/or potato and that's what it seems to be there in the container on the right.
  • jibaro1 said:
    Al igual que Carlos Alfaro pienso que lo que queda en la friambera son los remanentes del arroz con habichuelas y papas.

    Carlos Alfaro Eso es muy correcto Carlos . en la foto se aprecia es Arroz y Papas podria ser Bacalao guisado con papas. ❤

Harvesting sugar cane in a burned field, vicinity of Guanica, Puerto Rico. Burning the sugar cane gets rid of the dense leaves and makes cutting the unharmed stalks easier (LOC)
