On the Cazabon pieces, it said: "Amidst Port of Spain’s second major land reclamation project, during the 1840s and 1850s, which further extended Trinidad’s main city into the Gulf of Paria, one of its famous landmarks, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, was into the final phase of its development, with the total construction timeframe lasting from 1816-1851. At one point, it pretty much stood on the shoreline: the beach was about 200 metres away and – apparently as if to maintain the coastal vibe, there was later a tall palm tree standing practically at the entrance to the cathedral."
