Samuel Hall Lord
Samuel Hall Lord, also called "Sam Lord" (1778 – 5 November 1844) was one of the most famous buccaneers on the island of Barbados. Sam Lord as he was usually known, amassed great wealth for his castle-mansion in Barbados. He did this through the direct plundering of ships stranded in the coral reefs just off the coast of his estate(UN/LOCODE: BB SLC ). According to legend, Sam Lord would hang lanterns high in the coconut trees around his estate. Passing ships far out at sea would think it was the port city of Bridgetown and would sail towards the reef in the area, leading them to wreck their ships. Sam Lord would then board the ships and keep the riches for his castle that existed in the parish of Saint Philip.
==Sam Lord's Castle==
Eventually his castle estate was turned into a hotel called the ''Sam Lord's Castle''. However, due to massive debt this hotel was auctioned off and parts of it were scheduled to be demolished to make way for a larger hotel development on the property by the new owners.〔(NationNews: Under The Hammer )〕 In 2007 Sam Lord's Castle was bought by CLICO (Barbados), but due to financial woes, the redevelopment didn't happen. For a while the Government of Barbados was proposing a buy-out. On 20 October 2010 Sam Lord's Castle was gutted by a major fire.〔(NationNews: Fire at Sam Lord’s Castle )〕〔(Barbados Advocate: Island’s only ‘castle’ gutted by fire )〕
In fact, most of Sam Lord's descendants, starting with his son Edward, moved to St. Lucia (Castries area). Edward married a woman by the name of Elizabeth Armour whom he met at Sam Lord's Estate.
