wharf

Martelly, like the crowd that was expressive in their favor, seemed quite pleased with the work's progress. The work itself at Wharf Jérémie started in November of 2013, following the launch on September 24. The estimated time for its completion, as given by the site's engineers, is September of this year.

Following their look at Wharf Jérémie, the group continued on to Delmas 2 where they visited the Body Intervention and Maintenance of Order location. There, they were greeted by members of the police force as well as the Directeur General. The president, while there, looked at the building's different areas which will soon house the National Police's specialized unit. The building is over 1,500 meters square and its 3 stories will be fully equipped with a shots hall, sports facilities, cafeteria, and sleeping quarters for some 400 PNH officers.

At the beginning of the 20th century, United States became increasingly concerned with the level of German activity and influence in Haiti. German businesses in Haiti dominated commerce in the entire area.

German nationals controlled over 80 percent of Haiti international commerce. They owned utilities in Cap Haitien and Port-au-Prince, wharf, railroad serving the Plain of the Cul-de-Sac. To get around Haitian law that forbid foreigners from owning land in Haiti, German men were increasingly marrying Haitian women and open businesses.

Although the sphere of U.S influence in the Caribbean started in 1898, in 1915, during the First World War, the U.S President Woodrow Wilson feared that Germany could invade Haiti and establish a military base near the Panama Canal that was built with huge U.S investment. The U.S President had right reasons to worry because then there were many Germans settlers living in Haiti who had financed the rampaging cacos with loans which were almost impossible to be repaid and they were at the mercy of the Germans to invade and restore order.
