Photo Description

On the left side of the image are yachts and various boats anchored in the lagoon off the coast of Saint George’s, Saint George, Grenada. As of 2013, the area above the hill belonged to Port Louis Marina. The buildings in the center of this image were built as barracks to house members of the Southern Defense Force, which was formed in 1944 during World War II. After the war, the barracks became the home of Grenada Boys’ Secondary School (GBSS). GBSS is Grenada’s oldest school, which officially began in 1885 at the Church Street location. Steamship (S.S.) Regina is shown anchored near the Grenada Port Authority pier in Saint George’s harbor. S.S. Regina, originally built in 1939, was acquired in 1964 by Chandris Cruises and renamed Regina. Her funnel features the Greek Chi symbol which was placed on Chandris ships to honor the founder’s Greek heritage. In the distance, atop the hill on the right, can be seen the dark stone walls of Fort George, Grenada’s oldest fort which was built by the French in 1705. Fort George continues (2013) to function as the headquarters for the Royal Grenada Police Force, which it has housed since 1854 when the Colonial Government took over control of the fort.
