Saipan -- Sugar Plantation




The first picture shows a bombed sugar plantation. The statue in the second picture was at the plantation. Saipan was known for growing a very large sugar crop each year.

That statue still exists.

If I didn't have a job, I'd go take pictures of all the things you are showing. Please post every picture you have.

I find them fascinating.

P.S. My grandfather was a Marine on Tinian.
