Ships in Manzanillo's harbor

Several large ocean-going vessels fill a large harbor. Five naval vessels sit at the dock, while two large tankers are in the middle of the harbor. Tree-covered hills rise beyond the harbor.Manzanillo is a large seaport town on Mexico's west coast. It was founded early after the Spanish conquest of Mexico and became an important ship-building port during the colonial period. The name of the town comes from the Manzanillo tree, which provided essential raw materials for building ocean-going ships. Today the town is Mexico's busiest port and a popular tourist destination.
