View from the Past

A scuba diver prepares for a trip. Now part of the Grand Barbados Hotel (Carlisle Bay, St. Michael), the structure seen here was once the pier of the Aquatic Club, which operated from the 1940s to the 1980s (approx) when a Holiday Inn replaced the main building. Like many of the social institutions of the time, this club was racially segregated (see this document - p.7 - bancroft.berkeley.edu/ROHO/wgmn_papers/mary_chamberlain_p... for an interesting note on the club's character. Pictures from the time may be seen here bajan.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/aquatic.jpg and on this page www.barbadosbcassoc.com/Default.asp?Page=156074

Una madre extraordinaria que alcanzó con suficiencia para propios y extraños.
No dejó penas, solo alegrías.
Todos la quisieron y la extrañan.
