Vietnam: Fishing boats at Vung Tau, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province

The resort town of Vung Tau was known in colonial times as Cap St Jacques, though nobody has used the latter designation since 1954 when the French left. The town lies at the tip of a triangular peninsula jutting into the sea near the mouth of the Saigon River.

Vung Tau which means 'Boat Bay' is Vietnam's main crude oil extraction centre.
