Hello Bob, I am an old Bahamian, and sailed Georgetown
Regata years gone by. the photo, A bahamian village (where, help please) looks to me like the hill in george town, overlooking
pond, (now cut into the bay), looking north over Elizabeth Harbor to Lee Stocking Isle, with goat cay showing to the left
of photo also the old building should be the church,a possibility?Pat. Hi Bob, My name is Terry Goodwin, you recently heard from my brother Pat regarding the location in Exuma
that you were questioning. My other brother Tom, confirmed the probability that Pat was right.Terry Hi Bob, This picture is not of George Town Exuma but it is a picture of Little Farmers
Cay Exuma, I know because I have some pictures from 1911 and I can pinpoint the spot where that photo was taken. Julian
Nixon Exuma, Bahamas Hi Bob, The
picture in question: A Bahamian Village . Where? Help please - That picture is surely the settlement where I was born and
now live: Little Farmers Cay Exuma. The picture depicts Little Farmers Cay and was
taken from the hill where I now live. The coconut trees are at the bay of Little Harbour, which is separated by a strip
of land called The Point. The next harbour over is called Big Harbour that is to the North. at the North end
of Big Harbour is the Creek Point. Beyond in the distance is a high hill on Great Guana Cay - the longest Cay in
the Exuma chain. I will try and take a picture from about the same spot and email it to you soon. Its definitely Little Farmers
Cay! By the way thank you very much for the gift! Terry Bain
