New Plymouth

Still on a mooring ball in "Black Sound" outside of the settlement of New Plymouth. New Plymouth is the only settlement on the island of Green Turtle Cay.  It was settled by the Loyalists in 1786.

There is an amazing bronze memorial in this tiny settlement, commerating both the Loyalists and the native Bahamians of the same era.

It's actually much larger than this picture and the red striped paths form the bars of the Union Jack.

Walking into town from the goverment landing dock, you can see the settlement, most of it set nicely within walls.

The streets of town are neat and clean.  We picked up a few groceries at both of the small markets and a killer brownie (locally made, of course).

It seems like an industrius little settlement, but not everyone has the money to maintain their homes, something we find in all of the islands.

However, everyone IS proud of their little community.
