Blue Lagoon Island
Blue Lagoon Island is a private island located 5 km (three miles) from Nassau, Bahamas and serves as a local tourist attraction. History Prior to the late 19th century the island's lagoon was a salt marsh and was referred to legally as Salt Cay. The Island became a stopover for pirates and privateers who used the island to cull salt from the lagoon to preserve their food and as a rest stop while they waited for permission to enter Nassau Harbour. In 1875, Charles King-Harman, an Englishman who was later knighted and became Governor of Cyprus, bought the island from the British Crown for £35. He owned it for 11 years, until he sold it to a Bahamian, Sir Augustus John Adderley, for £105. Adderley kept it for six years. Two Americans who wanted to cultivate corn and vegetables offered him £145. The farming effort failed and in 1902 they sold it to Abraham Van Winkle for a £10 loss (£135). Van Winkle hired hundreds of laborers to dredge out the salt marsh and blasted a cu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
