The Search for Columbus' Last Caravels and Nelson's HMS Hinchinbrooke
The history of St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica is rich, diverse, and fascinating. From a maritime historian's perspective two of history's most notable admirals had ships attached to their legacy sink in the bay. Our goal for the Maritime Legacy Project: Jamaica is to protect the bay and increase tourism to St. Ann's Parish by relating the stories of the sea to Seville Heritage Park. Ultimately, we wish to see St. Ann's Bay and Seville Heritage Park become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
