Description: | Illustration of Carlisle Bay from John Augustine Waller's 'A Voyage to the West Indies.' After a voyage of 6 weeks Waller arrived in Barbados, sailing into Carlisle Bay at the most southerly point of the island. From here, Bridgetown could be seen, with its barracks and naval hospital nestling in the hills behind. This harbour, at a depth of between 16 and 30 fathoms, could hold a large number of ships, and many vessels stopped here at some point in their journey to or from the Caribbean. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Sir Richard Phillips & Co | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Waller, John Augustine | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
