Nassau Sights

 The day trip this week was to Nassau. 

Fort Fincastle, Nassau Bahamas, overlooking the town from Bennet's Hill was built by Lord Dunmore, about 1793 who named it after his second title, Viscount Fincastle.

The water tower which was built in1928 stands 126 feet from ground level and 216 feet above sea level, and is considered to be the highest point on the island of New Providence.

Arawak Cay offers the authentic atmosphere of the Bahamian "Fish Fry" with vendors selling "made to order" conch salad, fried fish and other Bahamian dishes. Arawak Cay was artificially built from the sand when the harbor was dredged in 1969.

This 102 foot staircase was named in honour of the 65 years of Queen's Victoria's reign. The 65 steps were carved out of solid limestones by slaves in the late 18th century, between 1793 and 1794.
