San Salvador

12 Jan
0 21 Post by
I first went to San Salvador in 1977 as a young pilot with no idea how remote it was. Three college friends loaded into my rented single engine Piper in Miami and off we went, scuba tanks and all. After a fantastic few days in Eleuthera we flew to San Sal where the wall diving was supposed to be great, it was. The hotel with the dive boat is still there today, the Riding Rock Inn, but we saved money the first night by staying in a local’s home. One friend still recalls waking up with the biggest spider of his life in the shower when he went to wash up. I later learned the spider was a relatively harmless Golden orb but you couldn’t have convinced us then! The next night we spared cash and spiders by sleeping out by the plane, the no-see-‘ems ate us alive and we took off at first light for Florida. San Salvador was the first island in the New World that Christopher Columbus set foot on in October 1492, but due to mapping errors and the vagueness of Columbus’ log, nearby Cat Island was for centuries mis-labled “Guanahani” the native name for the island. I own a number of antique maps that illustrate the confusion, switching the names around until the British Navy settled the issue in 1925. Names didn’t mean much after the first few decades of exploration since the Bahamas were of little value to the Spanish once the native population was gone (enslaved by the Spanish and extinct by around 1525). There was no gold or silver in the Bahamas and the conquistadors’ focus switched to islands further south and then to Central and South America.   The first known permanent settlers on San Salvador after the native Lucayan Indians, and possibly 1700s pirate John Watling, were British Loyalists. The Loyalists fought for King George during the American Revolutionary War and when the British lost they were largely forced out of the new nation. In return the King granted large tracts of land to Loyalists in the Bahamas including San Salvador. They arrived in the late 1700s and brought their African slaves, live-stock and hopes of restoring the wealth they had in America. The soil turned out unsuitable for crops like cotton and even after burning the ancient forests to enhance a thin layer of topsoil, the crops failed and most Loyalists left within a generation. In 1834, British law freed the slaves and their descendants form the base of the population on San Salvador today.   The island is home to a beautiful lighthouse constructed in 1887 by the British Imperial Lighthouse Service, the Dixon Hill Light. In 1951 a U.S. missile tracking station and Coast Guard base were built. U.S. military interests left in the late 1960s and some of the buildings now serve the Gerace Field Station where research on The Bahamas is conducted by universities from around the world.   In later years a substantial new airstrip was built and a Club Med resort established, bringing in tourists from Europe. Riding Rock was also improved with marina facilities. In addition to excellent scuba diving, San Salvador has superb deep-sea fishing and recent International Game Fish Association records for wahoo have come from waters around the island.   For more history on The Bahamas check out The Bahamas: A History Through Maps!

A History of Nassau and New Providence Island

05 Jan
0 57 Post by
I’ve been going to Nassau for as long as I’ve been a pilot, well over 40 years. My log book would number Bahamas flights in the many hundreds, most involving a stop on New Providence Island where Nassau is located. Over the decades a few Bahamians there have become good friends, very intelligent people who work hard and smart. I’ve been lucky to work for Lyford Cay and the adjoining Old Fort Bay development which I helped design and engineer. I watched Atlantis being built, new cruise ship docks taking shape, Arawak Cay being reborn as a vibrant little port and more recent projects like Bahamar which I photographed regularly from my plane for those who built it. I met some real characters along the way including Sir Sean Connery who recently passed, we had a long dinner together I’ll never forget.     Captain William Sayle is credited with discovering New Providence after nearly being shipwrecked, taking shelter in the protected harbour. Sayle was leader of the Eleuthera Adventurers who settled The Bahamas in 1648. No doubt the island had already been used by Spanish ships since it offered one of the finest natural harbours in the New World. An original 1700s map I have showing “Principle Towns and Harbours belonging to the English, French and Spanish” has the “Harbour of Providence” alongside Boston, New York, Charleston, Havana, Cartagena and a few others. Settled as “New Providence” around 1666, the island soon became the center of government for The Bahamas. In 1670 Charles Town was founded and after the Spanish burned it in 1684 it was rebuilt and renamed Nassau, a title with connections to the King of England. A series of unpopular governors were appointed in London which led to pirates seizing control while the Spanish continued to attack. More than 1,000 pirates occupied Nassau in the early 1700s, a pirates’ den filled with pubs and brothels, burned-out trading vessels littered the harbour. Pirates like Charles Vane, Anne Bonny and Edward Teach (a.k.a. Blackbeard) were real and they used Nassau as their base, some actually became community leaders with regular meetings!   Woodes Rogers, a captain and former privateer, came from England with British war ships in 1718 to clean up Nassau. His motto was Expulsis Piratis–Restituta Commercia (Pirates Expelled–Commerce Restored). He threatened to hang any pirate who refused the King’s pardon he offered and most accepted, but some who didn’t were caught, convicted and hanged by Rogers and the Admiralty Court. After Rogers, the island struggled again under subsequent governors until the late 1700s when the British Loyalists arrived. They had remained loyal to King George during the American Revolution and when England lost the war, thousands came to The Bahamas with thei r slaves where the Crown granted them large tracts of land, some on New Providence. Farming was more difficult than it had been in America and most eventually left but some turned to the sea, fishing and salvaging ships around the reef-strewn Bahamas. Later came sponging by Greek immigrants in the 1800s with an international sponge market in Nassau, but times were often tough with outbreaks of disease and famine.   A boom in prosperity came during the American Civil War in the 1860s when Confederates traded cotton for European guns and supplies on the docks of Nassau. Boats would run through the Union blockade to southern ports and revenue from the increased trade helped modernize the capital. After a subsequent period of decline a second boom appeared courtesy of Prohibition in America from 1920 to 1933. During Prohibition Nassau prospered like never before and Bahamian families made fortunes without ever breaking the law since liquor was legal in the English colony.    After WWII air service to The Bahamas improved and tourism starte d to flourish. In 1957 the main airport opened, the port was enlarged to accept more and larger cruise ships and resorts with casinos flourished. Places like Paradise Island and Cable Beach became famous as the world increased travel to warm and welcoming places. Today Nassau continues to be the epicenter for government, commerce and transportation in The Bahamas. I go regularly to see my friends, drop off books and maps we produce in Naples and then carry on to the out islands where we keep our boat. Well, the out islands are now called the “family islands” and have been for a long time, I guess it’s just hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

Paradise Island

15 Dec
0 152 Post by
Most people today know Paradise Island because of Atlantis, a large resort distinguished by a world class aquarium and lagoons with water pumped in from the sea. When Atlantis was being built I watched the huge salt water pumps being installed behind what would be large water falls to mask their sound. Paradise Island (“PI” as locals call it) has a beautiful beach with another famous resort, the Ocean Club. There’s lots of shopping on the island with restaurants, bars, boat tours and high end marinas at Hurricane Hole and Atlantis which attract large multi-million dollar yachts. What I like about Paradise Island is the largely unknown and interesting history. The island acts as a huge breakwater which created one of the New World’s best harbours . The Spanish likely found the protected anchorage in the 1500s and stayed on the leeward side as do ships today. The island became known as “Hog Island” and the oldest existing lighthouse in The Bahamas was built on the western end in 1817. Navigation into the harbour has been greatly improved over the years and the lighthouse remains an important landmark for cruise ships and other vessels. In 1913 the “Porcupine Club” opened on Hog Island, an organization for elite millionaires with buildings on the harbour side and a beach house on the ocean side. Members of the Porcupine Club included U.S. banker Andrew Mellon, J.P. Morgan, Howard Hughes and Vincent Astor. The Club property eventually became an early Club Med which was later incorporated into Atlantis. Swedish industrialist Dr. Axel Wenner-Gren bought land on Hog island as he fled Nazi influence in Europe before WWII. In 1937 he bought “Southern Cross” from Porcupine Club member Howard Hughes, then the world’s largest private yacht at over 265’ in length. In the early 1940s Wenner-Gren helped create Bahamian jobs at the request of the Duke of Windsor, the newly appointed Governor of the Bahamas who had abdicated the throne as King of England. He employed hundreds of Bahamians to turn a stagnant pond on the island into “Paradise Lake” by digging canals to connect it with Nassau Harbour. In 1961 the property was sold to wealthy American Huntington Hartford, heir to the A&P Supermarket fortune (A&P has been called the Walmart before there was Walmart). It was Hartford who renamed Hog Island “Paradise Island” in 1962 when he began to develop it and the now famous Ocean Club. He purchased stone architectural structure know as the “Cloisters” which originated in a 14th-century European monastery. It was imported to the island, reassembled stone by stone and remains an interesting attraction on Paradise Island today. Huntington Hartford eventually sold his interests to Resorts International which built the first Paradise Island bridge in 1967. The island became famous as an international entertainment center with casino gambling. In 1987 Donald Trump became majority owner of Resorts International. His shares were later sold to American entertainer Merv Griffin whose wealth was created by successful TV game shows Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. Paradise Island Airways operated from 1989 to 1999 with planes landing on a 3,000-foot airstrip toward the eastern end of the island. The airline connected Paradise Island to Florida along with Chalk’s Ocean Airways, which landed on Nassau Harbour and taxied up a seaplane ramp on the island, a romantic way to arrive! The airport was replaced by today’s luxury homesites with an adjacent 18 hole golf course. South African resort developer Sol Kerzner bought the Resorts International property from Merv Griffin in 1994 and transformed the land into Atlantis, which has been one of The Bahamas’ major success stories and employers for many years. Paradise Island continues to evolve with many celebrities calling it home. I think PI and the aquarium at Atlantis is a must see for people who’s first experience in the Bahamas is arriving in Nassau on a cruise ship, a yacht or via the many international flights that serve the nation’s capital.

Rum Cay

08 Dec
0 131 Post by
When I was working on Rum Cay as a young Ocean Engineer and pilot in the early 1980s it was about as quiet and serene as you can get. My client was David Melville, an heir to Thom McAn shoes who owned the Rum Cay Dive Club. There was the Club, a short gravel airstrip, Kaye’s Bar, a few dozen natives and some feral cows in the bush - that was about it. My job for David was to stop erosion on the beach in front of the Club and investigate doing a marina in the old salt ponds around Port Nelson, the only settlement. David was a good man, he really cared for the islanders and spent a lot of money trying to help out the dwindling population. Every time I flew in to do engineering work he turned me into a charter pilot flying people in need of a ride on my way out. The airstrip was rough and short with an annoying, slightly dangerous palm tree at one end. The reefs were pristine and full of fish and the beaches long, beautiful and deserted. Rum Cay was the second island Christopher Columbus landed on in 1492 naming it Santa Maria de la Concepcion. He encountered Lucayan Indians as with his first stop on San Salvador to the east. What are believed to be Lucayan Indian petroglyphs can be seen in caves on Rum but the Indians themselves were exterminated throughout the Bahamas by the Spanish in the early 1500s. Once the people were gone there was nothing else to take and the island remained uninhabited until a large group of settlers arrived in the late 1700s, the British Loyalists. King George granted large tracts of land to the Loyalists on Rum Cay and they came on sailing vessels with seeds of cotton and other crops along with their African slaves, building supplies and livestock including the cows who’s descendants are still there. It’s hard to believe that Rum Cay once boomed with thousands of residents and a number settlements including Port Boyd, Carmichael, Times Cove, Gin Hill, Black Rock and Port Nelson (the only one still populated). Salt production was once an important industry throughout the Bahamas and salt pans for solar evaporation were constructed on the southern end of the island east of Port Nelson, these are still visible from the air today. Salt and agricultural exports included cotton, citrus fruits, vegetables, pineapples and sisal (a long-leafed, cactus-like plant whose fibers were used to make rope). These crops led to a sustained population on Rum Cay with miles of still existing slave walls marking off properties and pastures. The rocky soil turned out to be unsuitable in the long term and British law freed the slaves in 1834, many of the Loyalists who hadn’t already gone packed up and left. The former slaves who were left behind continued to survive but the population has dwindled for generations. In more recent years The Bahamas government completed a much larger and safer airstrip. A new marina was also built on the southwest end of the island by the Little family who developed Sumner Point and the island’s first and badly needed safe harbor. Unfortunately a hurricane damaged the marina’s entrance channel proving that life can still very tough on Rum Cay. Scuba diving off Rum is some of the world’s best. Dive sites with names like The Chimney and The Grand Canyon foretell of the beauty to be seen underwater. Besides spectacular walls plunging off into the abyss, there are shipwrecks to explore including the 1861 wreck of HMS Conqueror on Sumner Point reef. Rum Cay will always be a nice place to visit and a good memory for the author. To learn more about the Bahamas, check out The Bahamas A History Through Maps.

Crooked and Acklins Islands

01 Dec
0 133 Post by
I love Crooked and Acklins, they’re two of my favorite islands in the Bahamas, primarily because they’re remote and pristine with untouched beaches, reefs and landforms to explore. The natives there are always happy to have you visit and they’ll help you in any way possible. The reality is these islands are struggling population wise, the young people move away for better opportunities and over the last century populations have plummeted. There are a fewer commercial flights each week from Nassau but a real problem is the lack of safe harbours where the mail boat can land in rough weather. Mailboats deliver most of the building supplies, food and other things the islanders need. I did a study for the Bahamas Maritime Authority years ago pointing this deficiency out for the southern Bahamas in general, safe harbours would also attract cruising and fishing yachts which themselves could make a big difference for the islanders.   The Crooked and Acklins Island group includes Long Cay, all surrounding the Bight of Acklins, a protected lagoon miles across full of conch and bonefish. The islands are bordered to the west by the Crooked Island Passage, an international shipping route. It was here that Hurricane Joaquin turned into a Category 4 hurricane in 2015 sinking the El Faro, a large freighter some 800 feet long with thirty-three lives lost. I found what we believe to be the radar mast to the ship on a remote beach in Acklins, we turned the photos and story over to the US Navy who had earlier found the remains of the ship 15,000 feet deep north of Crooked.   Crooked is the fourth island Christopher Columbus visited when he “discovered” America in 1492. He named it “Isabella” after Spain’s Queen and loved the fragrant scent of its vegetation as he anchored offshore. Crooked Island has the distinction of housing the first General Post Office in The Bahamas. Remnants of the original building are incorporated into the resort at Pittstown Point where Crooked’s first proper marina has recently opened, our boat will be visiting for sure! Pittstown hosted a British Army outpost in the 1800s with guns that fired on American schooners during the War of 1812. At the turn of the 20th Century Long Cay (then known as Fortune Island) was an international shipping destination where crews would rotate off vessels and cargos could be exchanged. It’s hard to believe this fact, but there’s still old streetlights to remind you.   There are two beautiful lighthouses, one at the northwest tip of Crooked Island just off Pittstown Point, Bird Rock Lighthouse built in 1876. The other is just southwest of Acklins, Castle Island Light built in 1868 near Mira Por Vos in a breathtaking group of small islands. The area is vast and remote, but friendly natives will welcome you as they have me my friends for many years.   For more history on The Bahamas check out our website and The Bahamas A History Through Maps!

Berry Islands History

24 Nov
0 82 Post by

I’ve been frequenting the Berry Islands since the 1980s as I worked on projects from Chub Cay and Whale Cay in the south to Great Harbour Cay in the north with several other Berry Islands in between. In more recent years I've enjoyed the islands even more as I explore them in my old dive boat “Gone Astray”.  

 

The Berry Islands are located on the southern edge of the northeast Providence Channel, a major shipping route from Europe to America. Along that channel a hoard of cruise ships visit the Berry’s Stirrup Cays where guests enjoy great beaches and snorkeling. I hear today they even have zip lines and swimming pigs like those in the central Exumas.

 

A well-known wrecker named Cameron lived on Little Stirrup in the 1700s, today the island is known as CocoCay. Wrecking was a common occupation in the Bahamas which involved salvaging cargo from ships that wrecked on the endless reefs that surround the island nation. Bahamian wreckers also worked the Florida Keys reef and settled there even before Spain ceded Florida to the U.S. in 1819. A noted settlement on Great Stirrup was Williams Town that had a customs house during the time of Britain’s King William IV. Freed slaves were settled there by Bahamas Governor William Colebrooke in 1836 after British emancipation in 1834. Prior to that, British Navy Captain Allan Bertram was buried on the island, leaving his name on Bertram’s Cove. In 1863 the British Imperial Lighthouse Service built a light on Great Stirrup which still functions today, though now on solar power instead of whale oil and kerosene that was originally used with lighthouse keepers present.

 

One of my favorite Berry Island stories involves Whale Cay which was bought by Joanne ”Joe” Carstairs in 1934. Joe was a Standard Oil heiress who grew up in London and became a famous speed boat racer, besting many men of the day. She transformed Whale Cay into her own sanctuary with hundreds of Bahamian employees to tend her home and to play in her marching band which residents in Nassau would boat over to see. Ms. Carstairs had affairs with movie stars Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo and named a beach on Whale “Beach La Femme”.  Besides famous girlfriends, other celebrity guests included the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Duke having abdicated the throne to England before serving as Governor of The Bahamas during World War II.

 

East of Whale is Little Whale Cay which was owned by American entrepreneur Wallace Groves who created Freeport, Grand Bahama in the mid-1950s. He had a home, a private airstrip and a menagerie of wildlife on Little Whale including peacocks and other exotic birds, many of which survived him.

 

While the Berry Islands are a popular cruise ship destination, they’re also an ideal cruising spot for private vessels to enjoy the many islands, beaches and secret little coves. I’ll continue to enjoy them on our new boat!

Andros

Map of Andros

Andros is the largest island in the Bahamas and is divided into three parts: North Andros, Mangrove Cay and South Andros. These are separated by the “Bights” which are waterways running from the deep Tongue of the Ocean on the east side to the shallow Great Bahama Bank on the west. Navigating these shallow waterways is exciting with sea turtles, sharks, bonefish, wading birds and an increasing number of flamingos. The entire west coast of Andros is uninhabited except for one small fishing camp “Flamingo Cay” owned by a friend. Guests arrive by helicopter or seaplane, that’s how remote it is and yes, he has his own flock of wild flamingos!

Flamingos on Flamingo Cay

My first trip to Andros in 1979 took me to International Field Studies, also known as Forfar, on north Andros. I knew a dive master there who suggested we scuba one of the many blue holes. We started by hiking through the bush with all our gear, tiring at best, then entered a circular hole of clear surface water which expanded into a huge room underwater. The water was crystal clear and fresh until we reached 60 feet where an oozy yellow layer signaled the denser saltwater interface. A challenge to penetrate the layer was taken and at 80 feet it was pitch black under the layer of yellow hydrogen sulfide with caves running off into more blackness, which I wanted nothing to do with. Years later National Geographic featured Bahamian blue holes on the cover, speaking of the extensive caves and scientific discoveries since a couple thousand years ago they were dry caves when sea level was lower.

Andros Aerial

Considering Andros is so large, there are relatively few places to stay. Kamalame Cay is a small, high-end island off North Andros not far from AUTEC, Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation Center, where the U.S. Navy tests their submarines in the Tongue of the Ocean. I frequent Kamalame Cay and we sometimes keep our boat on Andros, it’s as interesting as it is remote - if you’re up for an adventure. There are several nice bonefish camps for avid fishermen and a new resort on distant South Andros featured on reality TV show “Renovation Island”. I wish the family restoring that resort the best of luck, Andros needs places like that to showcase the 100 miles of deserted beaches that exist there. To learn more about Andros, check out our History of The Bahamas Through Maps historical book or our custom map of the islands! Give us a call at 239-963-3497 if you have any questions!

Exumas Map

06 Oct
0 202 Post by
I've been going to the Exumas since the late 1970s as a pilot. Flying down the Exuma chain is without a doubt the most beautiful island scene I have ever encountered. The colors of blue you see are incredible and our Exumas map gives you an idea of how they change with water depths, from light blues of the shallow Great Bahama Bank to the dark hues of Exuma Sound which can reach depths of over 5,000 feet. The drop off from Bank to Sound is sudden and steep where wall dives can be exciting as you look into the abyss with big groupers, snappers and sharks swimming around. We've kept a boat in the Bahamas for many years and have explored the Exumas from one end to end. The Ship Channel Cays and Highborne Cay in the north are favorites, with Iguanas to see on Allans Cay. I've flown into Staniel Cay often which offers boat access to "Thunderball" Grotto featured in an early James Bond movie and Big Majors Cay where the famous swimming pigs are seen. Further down the island chain things become more quiet and serene with many islands and remote beaches to visit with no one around. The Exumas are a world class boating destination and we're proud our map is on the wall of yachts that visit the area. The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is one of the first marine sanctuaries in the world where all the marine life is protected and the fish can tell! They somehow know you can't catch or spear them so they swim right up to you while you gaze over the many queen conch which are still common on the bottom there. Our map of the Exumas is one of the more popular Bahamas maps for good reason. For more information on the Exumas map take a look at it here! Our history books of the Bahamas, Keys and Naples are also available on our site and on Amazon. Please call 239-963-3497 with any questions, we will be happy to assist you!

Key West Map

02 Oct
0 186 Post by
Since I was a kid, Key West meant fishing to me and my parents would take me to the forts, museums and lighthouse. In my twenties the town meant more than fishing with parties, bars and girls! My interest in Key West became more serious when we started to make maps of Florida with a ten map series dedicated to the Keys and Dry Tortugas. Key West is a particularly important map because of the island's rich history and it's alluring nightlife, which is about all most people around the world know about the Keys. As with each of our maps, I go the location with the goal of making an attractive wall piece which visitors can understand and that locals approve of in terms of names and nuances. I made several dedicated trips to Key West and stayed in historic hotels. As I went to the various landmarks it surprised me I'd been to them before, a habit inherited from my parents, though I'm sure some of my visits were in an altered state. A love of history also got me started collecting antique maps many years ago. After finishing our map of Key West we started contemplating a coffee table book on the Keys which came to be in early 2020, The Florida Keys, A History Through Maps. It was only possible with my co-author who grew up in the Keys and also collects antique maps. Key West is an island city that was once the wealthiest and largest town in Florida, built on the back of shipwrecks along the Keys reef line. There's railroad history and much more to explore when you get there, maybe even a seafood restaurant and a bar or two! For more information on the Key West map and other maps visit our site here!

Making the New Zealand Map

21 Sep
0 136 Post by
The map of New Zealand is one of my all time favorites, the North and South islands that shape the country are perfectly framed and the process of creating the map was epic. I've made numerous trips to the island nation exploring it in the hands of friends who live there, what a beautiful country!

I made the map as a gift for a Kiwi friend on the South island who routinely leaves cases of the wine he makes "Middle Earth" at my house when he visits. We've toured the world together; Cuba, Panama, Bahamas, the American southwest, throughout Europe, Turkey and Russia. When I'm in New Zealand he takes me everywhere from lovely islands in the north to the southland region, even to the remote Chatham Islands far offshore.

I wanted to make a map worthy of the landscape and enlisted the help of another friend from New Zealand who spent his early years on tug boats and barges around the coasts of both islands. An example of his nautical expertise was a suggestion that the Humpback and Blue whales shown on our draft map be reversed based on where he saw them while operating vessels offshore (Blue whales being primarily in the extreme south, Humpbacks slightly further north, who knows that!)

The map further evolved when I visited my wine friend for a wild ride around New Zealand visiting spots I'd missed on earlier trips. We met other Kiwis who made map comments along the way using his truck, ferries, planes and helicopters for access. The result was a beautiful map which hangs on walls across New Zealand and is now on display at the gallery of Island Map Publishing in Naples.
