A port call at Manta, Ecuador in 2000, on the Pacific coast. Manta is Ecuador's main fishing port and one of its busiest cargo hubs. The photographs cover the waterfront, fishing boats, and a trip inland to Montecristi — the hilltop town where true Panama hats are actually made, despite what the name suggests.
