Belize City, Belize 1974-1976

Photos taken in 1974 to 1976 by Will Donovan, Peace Corps Volunteer.

Belize City

Belize City is a port city in the Central American country of Belize. It’s divided into north and south sides by Haulover Creek, which opens into the Caribbean Sea. The manually operated 1920s Swing Bridge, a busy crossing point, links the two. On the north side, the Museum of Belize traces the country’s history, with exhibits including Mayan artifacts.

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Belize from 1974 to 1976 and taught woodworking and technical drawing during that time at Belize Junior Secondary School No. 1 (Now called Edward P. Yorke High School). All the photos you see were taken by me at the time.
