Beneath a dramatic Caribbean sky piled high with cumulus clouds, four workers bend over long raised growing channels at Nassau's pioneering hydroponics farm — one of the earliest commercial soilless-cultivation operations in the Western Hemisphere, established in the late 1940s to supply fresh vegetables to the island's hotels and growing tourist trade. The vivid chrome-era color captures the stark white gravel beds, the yellow pipe-and-frame trellis supports stretching to the horizon, and the red-clay Bahamian earth — a striking contrast to the lush pine treeline beyond. This is an unusually specialized agricultural subject for a tourist postcard series, reflecting the Bahamas Colonial Government's pride in the innovative enterprise.
