Mystery Daguerreotype View of a Street in an Unidentified Town (1840s/1850s)

 

Daguerreotype view of a street in an unidentified town, c. 1840s/1850s. There is a sailing ship on a body of water visible at the end of the street, the masts of a few more ships to its right, and a building under construction in the distance at far right. The contour of the hills in the distance might one way the location of this daguerreotype is discovered because the street probably looks much different if this town is still around today. The Library of Congress only states that the daguerreotype was purchased at "Ranch Auction" in Switzerland in 1961.

Update: A viewer of my video on this daguerreotype on Youtube claims to have found the location where the photo was taken. The viewer claims that it was taken in Jamaica and has contacted the Library of Congress about the discovery.
