 Man-O-War Cay : Profile
Leaving the Carolinas during the American Revolution, Man-O-War Cay was settled around 1780 by loyalist descendents. Long before the steamship and airplane linked the Bahamas outer islands with modern centres of world trade, the Island was self-sufficient through boat building, fishing and farming - all of which continue today.
There are a large number of holiday homes on the Island, and it's well worth visiting some of the local craftsmen who continue their hard-earned trade today.
The village is very nice, clean and everything is meticulously maintained. When you go ashore, it is advisable to dress properly as the locals are all very
religious.
It is possible to anchor outside the bay. From here you can enter the natural harbour from the North with the dinghy. Inside the harbour you can only pick up
a mooring, it is very difficult to find a place where you can drop your
anchor anymore.
