Havana Harbor abandoned building black and white Cuba | Wall Art
The photograph captures the decaying state of the dilapidated piers in the Havana Vieja harbor, as seen from a ferry boat crossing from Casa Blanca. The three large wharfs attached to the Terminal Sierra Maestra have not been in use for decades and are in disrepair. The northernmost harbor has been restored and serves as a dock for cruise ships, but the southern ones remain unrestored. The photograph highlights the stark contrast between the fixed and unrestored wharves, showcasing the neglect and lack of maintenance.
The Santa Clara abandoned building is seen with its faded letters, and the name “Port of Havana Docks Co” is visible, hinting at the site’s historical significance. The photograph captures the story of the once bustling harbor, now fallen into disuse, and the neglect of the country’s infrastructure. It’s a powerful and thought-provoking photograph that tells a story of the past and present of Havana’s Harbor.
