This is a remaining lighthouse on San Salvador. This has provided navigation aid for ships for 120 years. For over 500 years, the reefs of the Bahamas have caused problems for sailors. Many ship wrecks have occurred. For over a hundred years, a major source of income for the inhabitants was salvaging cargo from ship wrecks. This was very important to the early economy. Keeping lighthouses in good repair was counter productive to the local economy.
