The anchorage at the Caves, Treasure
Point, Norman Island
Its
appropriate that the "Pirate Ship" William Thornton
is anchored at Norman Island, as this is believed to be the fabled
site of "Long John" Silver's treasure trove as chronicled
in Robert Louis Stevenson's book, Treasure Island. There
are treasure seekers still planning, plotting and turning over
stones on Norman Island, on the off chance that, as so often
occurs, fact and fiction blur and blend.
The Willie T is open
for both lunch and dinner, but the
bar at the stern is the "jumping" place in the evenings,
but then again, it is Norman Island's only night spot. Ask the
bartenders about "Body Shots," and the Shotski!
Among the attractions on or
near Norman Island are the Caves for snorkeling, and The Indians,
several pinnacle rocks sticking out of the water just off Pelican
Cay, a dynamite site for a dive
or a snorkeling. Perhaps the fabled site of "Long John"
Silver's treasure trove is right here!
