New Pictures Jan 17

Marinas.com has some beautiful pictures of Rum Cay Bahamas’ Port Nelson Marina on their site: http://marinas.com/view/anchorage/222

I’ve also been collecting historical Rum Cay pictures on the web and receiving photographs that are emailed to me and adding them to a new photo gallery called: http://www.rumcayhistory.com/ with the help of Frazier Nivens, an ocean imaging/underwater photographer from the early days of Rum Cay who has a collection of images of Rum Cay, his website can be found at Oceanimaging.com, and Billy Davis who also has a collection of images from the island’s history. RumCayHistory.com will be a compilation of photographs from Rum Cay including a section dedicated to the H.M.S. Conqueror, a 101-gun Conqueror class screw propelled first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. The H.M.S. Conqueror was launched in 1855, but spent only six years in service before being wrecked in 1861. The wreck lies in 30 feet of water off Rum Cay and is preserved as an Underwater Museum of the Bahamas. It is a popular dive site.
