Day 2 Nassau – Crystal Serenity Cruise Upon our arrival at the Nassau International Airport, we will transfer to Port Nassau to embark on the Crystal Serenity Cruise. Crystal Serenity is one of two magnificent ships that has earned Crystal Cruises the distinction of being The World's Most Awarded Luxury Cruise Line. There are 12 new suites and 28 new penthouses. Crystal Serenity will feature more innovative dining options with expanded specialty venues and open-seating, more state-of-the-art technologies including free, unlimited Wi-Fi. Enjoy our luxury experience on board. Day 3 Bimini, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in Bimini, Bahamas. Ships embark at 6:00 PM. Adjectives defy description of Bimini’s waters – crystalline and turquoise, they are simply breathtaking. They are also teeming with prized blue marlin, tuna, amberjack and more. Here, where palm trees sway on pristine beaches, is where Papa Hemingway escaped to fish and write. Day 4 Harbour Island, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in Harbour Island, Bahamas. Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM. This tropical island jewel sits off the coast of Eleuthera's northern tip, floating in a sea of sapphire-blue waters. A former capital of The Bahamas, it has been twice recognized as "The Best Island in the Caribbean" by Travel + Leisure magazine. Harbour Island's three-plus miles of pink sand beaches are the perfect setting for swimming, snorkeling and other water activities. Day 5 Great Exuma, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in Great Exuma, Bahamas. Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM. Renowned for their sapphire-blue waters – so stunning they can be seen from outer space – the 300+ isles of the Exumas are home to blissfully secluded beaches, deserted reef-fringed cays (shoal or sandbar) and world-famous swimming pigs. Great Exuma is the largest of these islands, and the Tropic of Cancer runs directly through its capital of George Town. Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth, this yachting haven is ideal for snorkeling, diving and relaxing on pristine sands. Day 6 San Salvador Island, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in San Salvador Island, Bahamas. Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM. The small, emerald-green island of San Salvador, situated in the far eastern Bahamas, is home to pristine beaches and colorful coral reefs that are ideal for swimming, snorkeling and diving. Though subject to debate, San Salvador may also be the first place where Christopher Columbus set foot in the New World in 1492. On San Salvador's west coast is the island's capital and largest settlement, Cockburn Town, boasting a museum, restaurants, bars and its signature landmark, a giant almond tree. Day 7 Long Island, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in Long Island, Bahamas. Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM. On the easternmost ridge of the Great Bahama Bank, straddling the Tropic of Cancer, this slender island of white-sand beaches, technicolor waters and lush greenery is home to brilliant coral reefs, pristine flats and the famed Dean’s Blue Hole, the world’s second deepest. Just four miles at its widest, hilly vantage points allow for spectacular views of breathtaking cliffs. Dotted with white churches and monuments, Long Island is known for its bonefishing, swimming pigs and world-class diving. Day 8 Cruiseing the Coast of Bahamas Today is a Sea Day. We will be cruising the Coast of Bahamas. Enjoy the activities on board. Day 9 Nassau, Bahamas This morning, we will disembark from Port Nassau. With miles of powdery white sand, sunshine 300 days a year, and turquoise waters averaging 80 degrees, the capital of The Bahamas is home to 17 spectacular beaches. Rich in pirate lore and vestiges of its British heritage, Nassau today is a hub of culture and a thriving nightlife. Discover a perfect mix of nature, history and modern-day indulgences, from colorful reefs to dazzling casinos, straw markets to lavish resorts, and ancient forts to the world’s third-largest wine cellar at Graycliff. We can enjoy the city and overnight in Nassau. Day 10 Nassau Miami Los Angeles Honolulu This morning, we will transfer to Nassau International Airport for our return flight to Honolulu, taking with us the lasting memories of this wonderful Cruise to Bahamas Escapes with Crystal Serenity. We wish you a safe journey and many wonderful memories to share with family and friends!

  • The Birds of Long Island, Bahamas
    Wilson Bull., 104(2), 1992, pp. 220-243 THE BIRDS OF LONG ISLAND, BAHAMAS DONALD W. BUDEN ’ ABSTRACT.-ChIe hundred and ten species of birds are recorded from Long Island and adjacent cays, 54 for the first time. No species or subspecies is endemic. Of the 48 probable breeding indigenous species, 23 are land birds, most of which are widely distributed in all terrestrial habitats. The Yellow Warbler (Dendroicapetechia) shows the strongest habitat preference, being nearly confined to mangroves. Nests, eggs, and young are reported for 3 1 species, 19 of them for the first time on Long Island. The White-winged Dove (Zenaidu asiatica) and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) are new additions to the list of breeding land birds. The Bahama Mockingbird (Mimus gundluchii)was the most frequently encountered bird during summer 1990, followed closely by the Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris).Received I6 May 1991, accepted5 Nov. 1991. The avifauna of Long Island has never been reviewed systematically, the literature consisting mainly of brief and sparsely annotated noncu- mulative lists of species. In nearly all cases, these earlier reports have been based on visits of only one to several days duration covering a very limited area, mainly Clarence Town and vicinity. The present report brings together all available information on the distribution of the birds of Long Island and is based in large measure on my observations through- out the island during 28 April-l 3 May and 6 July-l 2 August 1990 together with unpublished records contributed by other observers. STUDY AREA Long Island is located in the central part of the Bahama archipelago and is the south- easternmost island of any appreciable size on the Great Bahama Bank (Figs.

Local police and rescue agencies were not alerted about the sinking until late in the afternoon on Monday as no one had reported it until a young man (a survivor that swam to shore) walked into the police station in Marsh Harbour around 3pm that day. It was reported by the survivor – a nineteen year-old male – that possibly as many as six other people swam to shore but they quickly disappeared into the night. According to Noel Curry, Abaco’s Officer in Charge, the young man attempt- ed to help a young lady swim to shore but she was swept away by a wave. He then fo- cused on getting himself to safety. He told police he swam from 9 pm Sunday evening until 3 am Monday morning.

  • PRESERVATION and the FUTURE of the BAHAMIAN PAST: a CASE STUDY of SAN SALVADOR ISLAND's HISTORIC RESOURCES by CHRISTOPHER C. J
    PRESERVATION AND THE FUTURE OF THE BAHAMIAN PAST: A CASE STUDY OF SAN SALVADOR ISLAND’S HISTORIC RESOURCES by CHRISTOPHER C. JACKSON (Under the Direction of Cari Goetcheus) ABSTRACT While the material remains of past human activity and the evolution of traditional cultural activities have been the focus of much scholarship regarding the history of The Bahamas, very little has been said regarding preservation, promotion and interpretation of such resources. Experiencing spaces, places and activities associated with specific strands of history offer the Bahamian observer unique opportunities to gain insights into their own culture and character. This thesis explores the wealth of cultural heritage resources on San Salvador Island in order to analyze how such resources could be managed to affectively reveal the breadth of The Bahamas’ unique history and culture.

  • We Saw Him First!: Early Peoples of the Caribbean Outreach Kit
    We Saw Him First!: Early Peoples of the Caribbean Outreach Kit Information for the Teacher This outreach kit can be presented as an exhibit as well as hands-on activity/lesson kit. A series of suggested activities for several grade levels and competencies are included. All activities are designed to encourage divergent thinking skills and/or appeal to multiple ways of learning. This binder includes more detailed information for the teacher. In addition, there is an edited version of Columbus’ diary and an article on the Encounter from the view of the native people. This last account is based on historic records and presents real native people. There is also a bibliography of sources used. Because of the coverage from the Columbus encounter commemoration activities in 1992, there should be many resource materials in the school as well as public libraries. Illustrations used are, as much as possible, from accounts of the early voyages and the island people. Most photographs of San Salvador Island were made by Museum of Anthropology Education staff over several seasons of study there. All the artifacts included in the kit are real except for the zemi reproductions from the Museum of Puerto Rico. The objects from San Salvador are the results of archeological research there by the Museum’s former director, Dr. Mary Jane Berman and Wake Forest University students. Objects from Antigua were donated to the Museum for educational use. We included ties to North Carolina wherever appropriate to inform the students of the relationships of the Caribbean’s history to their own state history.
