Texas Popper:
The Monrovia that you are inquiring about is the capital city of Liberia.
We see large cargo ships from Monrovia in Port Everglades on a regular basis. Trans-Atlantic routes.
P.S. - Check out the African Regae from Liberia Coast. Alpha Blondie and the Solar System is excellent. Not quite like country music but I liked regaae when country music was Cool. RT
