The Great Bahamas Hurricane of 1929: The "Three-Day Storm"

The Great Bahamas Hurricane of 1929, also known as the "Great Andros Island Hurricane," remains one of the most significant and devastating meteorological events in the history of the Lucayan Archipelago. Striking during a period when the colony was already grappling with economic shifts and the early tremors of the Great Depression, the storm was a catastrophic event that claimed over 140 lives and fundamentally altered the Bahamian landscape.

 I had a pic of a storm I took some time ago and made it a black & white in Adobe Photoshop. Then I used AI to colorize it and add lightning bolts.

What The Bahamas should do about the China-backed hospital deal - AI Review

 

"Hospital Deal" - Bahamas AI Art

 ©A. Derek Catalano

 

 

What The Bahamas should do about the China-backed hospital deal — especially in light of the recent comments by U.S. Ambassador Herschel Walker urging the government to reconsider.

 

🇧🇸 1. Clarify and Evaluate the Terms of the Deal

Why it matters:
• The current financing — a loan covering around $195 m of a ~$278 – $300 m project — is governed by Chinese law and may involve Chinese labour standards and jurisdiction for disputes, which raises sovereignty and legal concerns.
• The U.S. is suggesting alternative financing that adheres to international norms, potentially with fewer strings attached.

Best Action:
The Bahamian government should publish the full loan agreement and impact assessments (legal, financial, economic, social) so that Parliament and the public can understand:

• interest rates and repayment schedule

• clauses on employment and labour

• dispute resolution and governing law

• what happens if The Bahamas can’t meet repayments

This transparency will strengthen public trust and allow informed debate.

The Lazaretto - UPDATED

 

 

 

"The Lazaretto" - ⒸA. Derek Catalano

The Lazaretto, on Lazaretto Rd., off Carmichael Rd., New Providence, Bahamas. This was a place where those who were afflicted with leprosy were cared for in the early 1900s. I climbed atop a roof and did a sketch  looking north(top), then climbed atop another roof and did a sketch looking south(bottom).

The term “lazaretto” historically refers to a quarantine station — a place where people (especially sailors) and goods arriving by sea were isolated to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Quarantine stations were especially prominent in port cities where epidemics of plague, cholera, yellow fever, and other infectious diseases repeatedly threatened populations before the advent of modern medicine. Read updated article>>
