Since they were located close to Florida and well-travelled shipping channels, The Islands of the Bahamas caught the attention of explorers, settlers, invaders and traders.

Whatever you are looking for, one of the 700 islands of the Bahamas is sure to have it. History The first known settlers of The Islands of the Bahamas were the Lucayan Indians, a subgroup of the Arawaks found throughout the Caribbean, in the 10th century. Chased out of the Lesser Antilles (which includes many of our island destinations) by the warrior Caribs, these peaceful Indians were able to settle in thatch huts and farm the Bahamian Islands. However, in 1492 Christopher Columbus arrived and within 25 years, the Lucayans were completely wiped out by slavery and disease. Columbus named the area "baja mar," meaning "shallow water or sea." 150 years later, English Puritans arrived on the island now known as Eleuthera, searching for religious freedom. Another century later, American colonists still holding loyalties to Britain left their newly independent nation. These loyalists brought with them Colonial building skills, shipbuilding and agricultural expertise, and slaves.

    Extractions: Bimini is a group of small islands in the Bahamas. Bimini is only 50 miles east of Miami Beach, Florida. Bimini has three main islands: North Bimini, South Bimini, and East Bimini. These coral islands are small, only 7 miles long and only 200 yards wide at their narrowest. Perched at the west end of the Bahamas Bank, Bimini is surrounded by shallow water (only 20 to 30 feet deep) to the north, south, and east. To the west, the Gulf Stream current flows north through the deep water between Miami and Bimini, where the ocean is over 6000 feet deep. The Gulf Stream brings hundreds of marine animals near to the shores of Bimini. North Bimini is long, flat, and narrow. In this picture you can see the houses and buildings of Alice Town as we fly over the harbor between North Bimini and East Bimini. Notice how clear the water is in the shallow harbor. The shallow calm harbor was a shelter for pirates in the early days of the Caribbean. We're looking out the airplane window toward the west, so the water in the distance is the Gulf Stream, and Miami is just over the horizon in the distance. Use these links to learn more about Bimini with some spectacular photographs: Tropical Landing Back to Top Bimini is surrounded by shallow reefs. This aerial view of the north end of North Bimini shows the reef. From the light-colored, shallow water near shore, the depth increases to 80 to 100 feet before dropping into the abyss of the Gulf Stream. Note the darker, deeper water at the bottom of this photograph. The shallow reefs are nurseries for young fish. At Rainbow Reef, near the site in this photograph, I saw a juvenile Longfin Damselfish, and many
