Kings Wharf San Fernando


This was the first port of entry to San Fernando where trading took place from as early as 1813. In the early days, ferries ran between Port of Spain and San Fernando transporting goods, very much like the present day passenger services of the “Water Taxis” which traverse the same route. Its terminal is located just south of the original Jetty. A section of the Wharf housed a fishing market and Abattoir in 1924, this fishing market still exists today.
