On May 1st, 1963, the American cargo ship TRANSCARIBBEAN (ex-Victory ship AUGUSTANA VICTORY), built in 1945, on a voyage from New York to Bermuda with general cargo, was wrecked on Las Cabritas rocks near Isla de Cabras, outside San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was impossible to refloat the ship, which was firmly struck between rocks and it was considered a TCL.
The ship was abandoned and remained there, as it wasn't considered a danger to navigation.

Original text:

The photographer was known to have visited central and south American east coasts. Palm trees can be seen on the land.

I cannot tell if the image needs to be flipped.
There is another photo, taken a few minutes later, further to the right of this scene, which indicates that the photographer's ship was inbound into, perhaps, an inlet or port.

The wrecked ship, appearing to be a five hatch Victory ship, has clearly run aground and broken in two.
