Plymouth
 Nothing prepared us for the sad sight
of Plymouth - the once thriving city and capital of
Montserrat. Now buried in up to forty feet of mud, sand and ash - much of it
carried down from the Soufriere Mountain in the heavy rains since the dome
collapsed. Amazingly there were no fatalities, everyone managing to
evacuate.
      The oldest
building had stood proudly since the mid 1600's - just the roof showing
on the once three storey building
 The cruise ship dock below joins to this picture, the pier walkway went back to the 'welcome' building. The
shore line (just visible as a line of stones) has moved out several hundred
feet
 This dock
could hold three medium sized cruise
ships
      As Plymouth
was - complete with George Street, just recovered from Hurricane
Hugo
 ALL IN
ALL A VERY SAD BLOG
NEVER SEEN A DEAD CITY
BEFORE
