Although bananas are still shipped from Boundbrook Wharf, at West Harbor, workers do not load the ships any more. Nowadays huge cranes do the work.
The banana trade brought a lot of money to the town of Port Antonio, but as often happens, the money was not equally shared. A few rich made a lot of money, while people who worked in the fields worked for almost nothing. They were slaves no more, but some of them were treated like they were.
