The port of Bridgetown - without exaggeration the main place in the city, an integral part of it. It was with him that a long history of trade and economic relations between Barbados and other countries began.
History
The first documented mentioning of this port, built by the British, refers to the XVII century. The whole history of the island of Barbados is the story of long travel and transportation of various goods. The port played the main role in it.
In 1961 an artificial harbor was built on the island, capable of receiving large ships. Since then, the economy is on the rise. And after 1970, when tourism here began to develop actively, the port of Bridgetown began to receive many tourist vessels. So, perhaps, it is from this place that your acquaintance with Barbados will begin.
Harbor now
The port is still considered the key transport and trade hub of the country. It is called a deep-water harbor, and work here is boiling around the clock. Actually, you can observe it after coming to the port. And still here you can talk with sailors who have traveled almost half the world.
