Great Camanoe
Great Camanoe is a small island located just north of Beef Island and northeast of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, a group of islands which forms part of the archipelago of the Virgin Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.
Great Camanoe is primarily a residential island, divided into two residential communities, Indigo Plantation and The Privateers, both on the southern half of the island. Access to the island is by boat only. Visitors often anchor at Lee Bay or Cam Bay, a national park and good snorkeling site.
〔A 1793 Spanish map of the area located in the U.S. National Archives and here: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/gmdhome.html〕 A 1793 Spanish map of the Virgin Islands refers to Great Camanoe Island as Cayman Grande and Little Camanoe Island as Caiman Chico. These names are obvious references to American Crocodiles (cayman or caiman) which inhabited the area when the islands were first explored by Christopher Columbus and to this day are still found on Cuba, Hispaniola and other Caribbean locations. In Columbus' native tongue, Italian, the word cayman is spelled caimano.
