Cathédrale du Christ de Nassau

La cathédrale du Christ est une cathédrale anglicane située à Nassau, aux Bahamas. Elle est le siège du diocèse anglican des Bahamas et des îles Turques-et-Caïques. Elle est généralement considérée comme la « Mère-Église » de toutes les églises anglicanes aux Bahamas et dans les îles Turques-et-Caïques. Historique Édifices préalables En 1670, le roi Charles II octroie la colonie des Bahamas aux propriétaires terriens de la province de Caroline avec pour mission principale de « construire des églises et des chapelles dans le but de promouvoir la religion chrétienne ». La première église a été construite entre 1670 et 1684, à l'ouest de l'actuelle église, mais elle a été détruite par les Espagnols en 1684. Une deuxième, une troisième (1724) puis une quatrième église sont construites, cette dernière étant en pierre de taille. Un clocher est ajouté en 1774, remplacé par une tour carrée en 1830. En 1834, une loi est votée pour l'agrandissement de l'église. Édifice actuel Une cinquième église est construite, en remplacement de la précédente mais comprenant la tour de la quatrième église. Elle est inaugurée en 1841. En 1861, l'église paroissiale devint une cathédrale et Nassau une ville. La dernière restauration de la cathédrale a été achevée en 1995. Considérations religieuses Cette cathédrale est généralement considérée comme la « Mère-Église » de toutes les églises anglicanes aux Bahamas et dans les îles Turques-et-Caïques. Architecture extérieure Le bâtiment, d'architecture gothique, est fabriqué à partir de blocs de calcaire taillés localement et qui sont maintenus ensemble — mais pas entièrement — par leur taille et par le poids de la gravité et non par le ciment. Dans le cadre d'un projet de rénovation dans les années 1990, un certain nombre de projets ont été menés à bien : la construction de bancs en acajou, fabriqués par un artisan local, Lloyd M. Toppin ; la pose de carreaux au sol et de tuiles ; l'installation de vitraux sur les côtés nord et sud de la cathédrale, fabriqués par la Statesville Stained Glass Compony de Statesville, en Caroline du Nord. Architecture intérieure et décoration Dans le projet de rénovation ont été ajoutés deux panneaux latéraux, fabriqués en France par M. Fassi-Cadet à Nice ainsi que la restauration des fenêtres est représentant la Crucifixion, le tombeau vide et l'Ascension. C'est un cadeau de Charles A. Munroe, un Américain, qui a passé de nombreuses années aux Bahamas. Ils ont été remis en mémoire de son fils, le lieutenant Logan Munroe, décédé le 16 juin 1945 dans le Pacifique sud au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elles ont été inaugurées en mars 1949.

Marsh Harbour Airport

Leonard M. Thompson International Airport, formerly known as The Marsh Harbour International Airport (IATA: MHH, ICAO: MYAM), is an airport serving Marsh Harbour, a town in the Abaco Islands, The Bahamas. Marsh Harbour is a major tourist attraction. The airport offers scheduled passenger flights to Nassau and several destinations in Florida as well as regional jet flights nonstop to three major U.S. hubs, Atlanta, Charlotte and Miami in the U.S. In 2007 a new runway was built to allow larger, regional jets to operate from Marsh Harbour. A new airport terminal opened on 27 May 2014. Facilities The airport has an elevation of 6 ft (1.8 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway, designated 09/27, that has an asphalt surface measuring 1,859 m × 30 m (6,100 ft × 100 ft). In 2006, the old runway was converted into a taxiway after the new 6,100-foot-long (1,859 m) runway opened. The new airport terminal opened on 27 May 2014 after three years of construction. The building incorporates architectural elements that reflect culture of The Bahamas. The new 46,000-square-foot (4,300 m2) terminal has 22 counter positions, a new luggage scanning system, pilot briefing room, two restaurants, one lounge, shops, and a public parking area. Marsh Harbour International Airport was renamed the Leonard M. Thompson International Airport on 25 May 2016. Thompson was a prominent son of Hope Town who flew bombers for the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. Airlines and destinations Passenger Accidents and incidents On 25 August 2001, American singer/actress Aaliyah and eight crew members of a group that had participated in the filming of her "Rock the Boat" music video, were killed soon after their Cessna 402 aircraft took off from Marsh Harbour Airport. The subsequent investigation determined that the aircraft had attempted to take off while heavily overloaded and with the weight improperly distributed. The pilot was not qualified on this type of aircraft, falsified experience records, and had signs of drug and alcohol use. On 13 June 2013, SkyBahamas Airlines C6-SBJ, a Saab 340B aircraft suffered substantial damage when it departed off the side of the runway while landing in heavy rain. There were no serious injuries or deaths among the 24 passengers and crew. The aircraft was subsequently written off. The airport was closed on 1 September 2019 as Hurricane Dorian approached the island. Marsh Harbour Airport was among the locations severely damaged by the storm and the runway was underwater for several days. The storm caused an estimated US$9.8 million in damages and there was an additional US$10.5 million in economic impact due to canceled flights. The airport reopened about three months later.

Пиг Бийч

Пиг Бийч (на английски: Pig Beach; букв. „свински плаж“), също Пиг Айлънд (на английски: Pig Island; букв. „свински остров“), Мейджър Кей (на английски: Major Cay) и официално Биг Мейджър Кей (на английски: Big Major Cay), е необитаем остров, разположен в Ексума, Бахамски острови. Дължи неофициалното си име на факта, че се обитава от колония прасета, които живеят на острова и заобикалящите го плитчини. География Пиг Бийч има неправилна форма, напомняща ботуш. От север на юг е издължен на 1,8 km, а максималната ширина достига 1,6 km. Площта му е около 0,9 km². На острова се намира три извора на питейна вода, които образуват малки езерца. Легенда Според легендата, свинете са оставени на острова от група моряци, които искали да се върнат и да ги сготвят. Уви, моряците никога не се завърнали, а прасетата оцелели на оставената храна от преминаващите кораби. Според друга версия, прасетата са оцелели корабокрушение и са успели да доплуват до брега, а според трета версия прасетата са избягали от близко островче. В днешно време прасетата се хранят от местните и от туристите. Фауна Островът е обитаван от около 20 прасета и прасенца. Освен тях, на острова живеят няколко котки и кози. Източници
Pig Beach

Pig Beach located on Big Major Cay (also known as Major Cay) is a beach on an uninhabited island (or cay) located in Exuma, the Bahamas. The island takes its unofficial name from the fact that it is populated by a colony of feral pigs which live on the island. It has become a tourist attraction in modern times. The pigs are known in popular culture as "the swimming pigs" although other islands with swimming pigs exist in the Bahamas. Geography and features Exuma is a district of the Bahamas, and consists of over 365 islands and cays. Near Big Major Cay is Staniel Cay. There are three freshwater springs on the island. History Anecdotal history A single, factual account of how the pigs ended up on the cay does not appear to exist. Folklore and various theories claim a number of different scenarios including pirates. Some say the pigs are said to have been dropped off on Big Major Cay by a group of sailors who wanted to come back and cook them. The sailors, though, never returned; the pigs survived on excess food dumped from passing ships. Another legend has it that the pigs were survivors of a shipwreck and managed to swim to shore, while other accounts claim that the pigs had escaped from a nearby islet. Yet others suggest that the pigs were part of a business scheme to attract tourists to the Bahamas while another claims the pigs were stocked on the island in the 1990s by residents of nearby Staniel Cay to raise for food. Modern day The pigs are now fed by residents from neighboring islands and tourists and the island is unofficially known as Pig Beach by both locals and tourists. In 2017, a number of the resident pigs were found dead, which caused speculation regarding the cause of death including claims of tourists feeding pigs alcohol or the pigs ingesting sand. Demographics and fauna Big Major Cay is an island uninhabited by humans. The pig population was estimated between fifty and sixty pigs as of 2019. A few stray cats and goats can be found on the island as well. Travel and tourism From Nassau to Pig Beach is 89 miles (143 km) and takes 2 hours by speed boat. A number of tour operators offer both private and group trips from Great Exuma, Staniel Cay, and other nearby cays. Popular culture Pig beach has become a popular topic on social media sites like Instagram and featured in the television series, The Bachelor. Some people claim to have been bitten by a pig while visiting. They have been written about in a book and claim to be featured in a documentary.

Cayo Big Major​ (en inglés y oficialmente Big Major Cay), es un cayo o isla deshabitado, ubicado en el distrito de Exuma en las Bahamas. Informalmente se lo conoce como Isla de los Cerdos​ (y Pig Beach​ en inglés) y es conocido por tener una pequeña población de cerdos asilvestrados que están habituados a nadar en el mar. Geografía y características Exuma es un distrito de las Bahamas, que consta de más de 360 islas o cayos.​ Cayo Big Major se encuentra entre el cayo Staniel y el cayo Fowl.​ En el cayo hay tres manantiales de agua dulce.​ Anecdotario Se dice que a los cerdos los dejaron en el cayo unos marinos con la intención de volver para comérselos. Esos marinos nunca habrían vuelto.​​ Los cerdos habrían sobrevivido gracias a los restos de alimentos que tiraban al mar los barcos que pasaban por allí. Otra leyenda dice que los cerdos sobrevivieron a un naufragio y pudieron llegar a nado a la orilla del cayo. Otros dicen que llegaron desde otro islote cercano.​ Otros afirman que los cerdos formaban parte de un plan empresarial para atraer el turismo a las islas Bahamas. Demografía y fauna El cayo está deshabitado.​ Alberga alrededor de 20 cerdos entre adultos y crías.​ También alberga algunos gatos asilvestrados​ y cabras.​ Se considera que actualmente los cerdos son alimentados por turistas y por habitantes de cayos vecinos. Cultura popular El libro infantil El secreto de la isla de los cerdos (The Secret of Pig's Island en inglés, Jennifer R. Nolan, Ocean Education Publishing, 2010), trata de un niño que se entera de que existe una isla deshabitada en la que hay cerdos que nadan en el mar y se aventura a visitarla por su cuenta.​ Por otra parte, Sandra Boynton, humorista, autora musical, directora, productora musical y escritora e ilustradora de libros para niños, escribió una canción sobre la Isla de los Cerdos para su libro de canciones infantiles, Los pollos bailarines de Filadelfia (The Dancing Philadelphia Chickens en inglés).​ Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Cayo Big Major.

Pig Beach

Pig Beach (conosciuta anche come Major Cay, e ufficialmente Big Major Cay) è un'isola disabitata situata a Exuma, nelle Bahamas. L'isola deve il suo soprannome ad una colonia di maiali che popola l'isola stessa e i luoghi vicini, attirando ogni anno numerosi turisti. Geografia e caratteristiche Exuma è un distretto delle Bahamas, ed è costituito da oltre 360 isole. Nell'isola sono presenti 3 specchi d'acqua dolce. Leggende Si dice che i maiali siano stati portati sull'isola da un gruppo di marinai, con l'intento di tornare indietro a cucinarli in un secondo momento. I marinai tuttavia non fecero più ritorno e i maiali riuscirono a sopravvivere grazie al cibo in eccesso scaricato da navi di passaggio. Un'altra leggenda narra che i maiali siano riusciti a sopravvivere ad un naufragio e siano riusciti ad arrivare a riva; un'altra ancora racconta che i maiali siano scappati da un isolotto vicino. Alcuni sostengono che i maiali facciano parte di un piano economico che avrebbe lo scopo di attirare turisti alle Bahamas. I maiali vengono nutriti dai turisti e l'isola è chiamata Pig Beach dagli abitanti delle zone limitrofe. Come arrivare Staniel Cay è l'isola più vicina con un aeroporto mentre l'aeroporto internazionale più vicino si trova ad Exuma. Nassau si trova a circa 77 miglia nautiche, 2 ore di navigazione o 35-40 minuti di volo. Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Pig Beach
Big Major Cay

Big Major Cay, także Pig Beach – bezludna wyspa i rafa koralowa położona w dystrykcie Exuma, na Bahamach. Wyspa wzięła swoją nieoficjalną nazwę od faktu, że zamieszkuje ją kolonia dzikich świń, które są przyzwyczajone do pływania w morzu. Geografia Wyspa jest znana w kulturze popularnej jako „plaża świń”, chociaż na Bahamach istnieją inne wyspy z pływającymi świniami. Na wyspie znajdują się trzy źródła słodkiej wody. Historia Geneza pojawienia się świń na rafie nie została wyjaśniona i udowodniona. Nie znaleziono jakiegokolwiek opisu tego, jak świnie znalazły się na rafie koralowej. Folklor i różne teorie głoszą wiele różnych scenariuszy, w tym przywiezienie przez piratów. Inna legenda głosi, że świnie przeżyły katastrofę statku i zdołały dopłynąć do brzegu; inne zaś źródła podają, że świnie uciekły z pobliskiej wysepki. Do tej tezy odnosi się większość badaczy, ponieważ świnie były hodowane dla mięsa na wyspie Staniel Cay. Świnie żyją głównie dzięki resztkom jedzenia wrzucanym do morza z przepływających statków czy jachtów. Przypisy
