Rum Cay

Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest / YO HO HO and a bottle of rum / Drink and the devil have done for the rest / YO HO HO and a bottle of rum.

“

—	Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island

I pity them greatly, but I must be mum, for how could we do without sugar and rum?

“

—	William Cowper quotes (English Poet One of the most widely read English poets of his day, 1731-1800)

Located in the SE Bahamas it is debatable if Christopher Columbus first set foot on San Salvador or Rum Cay. Indians, Pirates, Spanish sailors, Loyalists, Americans...and Canadians...this island is rich in history! Rum Cay was originally called Santa Maria de la Concepcion until a ship laden with rum wrecked close by and kegs of rum washed up on shore. It then became known as Rum Cay!
