Banana loaders unload a car of bananas of the first shipment at the United Fruit Company docks for transfer to a waiting ship in Puerto Cortes, Honduras on Sept. 3, 1954. About 34,000 bunches made up the first shipment in over two months. In the foreground are bunches of bananas rejected for shipment because of over-ripeness. These will be given to workers for their consumption. (AP Photo
