Poster Green Turtle Cay Church, The Bahamas

"St. Peter's Anglican Episcopal Church, New Plymouth, Green Turtle Cay, The Bahamas" by Catherine Sherman. St. Peter's Anglican Episcopal Church is one of the few sights you would see when you arrive by boat in New Plymouth on Green Turtle Cay in the Bahamas. Much of the island and the rest of the Abaco islands were severely damaged when it was struck by Hurricane Dorian (Category 5) in August 2019. I don't know what the town looks like in 2021 as I post this photograph, taken in November 2017. Green Turtle Cay is one of the barrier islands off mainland Great Abaco, The Bahamas. It can only be reached via ferry from the mainland or boat. It is considered part of the "Abaco Out Islands" and is 3 miles (4.8 km) long and ½ mile wide. It was named after the once abundant green turtles that inhabited the area. In 1977, Key West, Florida became a sister city to New Plymouth, Green Turtle Cay's village. The population of the island is about 450 and its main settlement is New Plymouth which was founded in the 18th century. The architecture of the older homes in the village is unique in the Bahamas, with steep-pitched roofs, originating with settlers from New England.
