Inagua
Inagua is the southernmost district of the Bahamas, comprising the islands of Great Inagua and Little Inagua. The headquarters for the district council are in Matthew Town. History The original settlers were the Lucayan people, who arrived sometime between 500 and 800 CE, crossing in dugout canoes from Hispaniola and/or Cuba to the Bahamas. The name ''Heneagua'' was derived from a Spanish expression meaning 'water is to be found there'. Two names of apparent Lucayan origin, ''Inagua'' (meaning "Small Eastern Island") and ''Baneque'' (meaning "Big Water Island"), were used by the Spanish to refer to Great Inagua. Between the years of 1500 and 1825, many documented treasure laden ships were destroyed on Inaguan reefs. The two most valuable wrecks lost off the Inaguas were treasure-laden Spanish galleons: the ''Santa Rosa'' in 1599; and the ''Infanta'' in 1788. Other ships of considerable value that were wrecked there include the French ''Le Count De Paix'' in 1713, the British ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
