I can't begin to imagine the terrible conditions that the Native Caribs must have experienced whilst digging this Tunnel -by hand -all 360 feet through solid volcanic rock, and in some cases died, at the hands of the Slave Masters / Owners :(
 
Good post L.B. It sort of reminds of something off Pirates of the Carribeann mate. Like you could end up seeing Captain Jack Sparrow down there. haHA!. :mrgreen:
 
Interesting but sadly commonplace where the native peoples of the Caribbean were concerned. Any sign of the sugar factory?
