PIRATE-HUNTING
'It was a short life, but a merry one,' said Captain Bart Roberts about life as a
wayfaring pirate. In downtown Nassau you can easily imagine pirates striding
the gritty, narrow streets, looking for two-bit grog and a one-night girlfriend
after a long few months at sea. Spend the night at gothic
Graycliff Hotel
(see

), the hillside former home of Captain Graysmith, who plundered
ships off the Spanish Main. Learn about marooning, parrots and peg-legs at the

Hilton Nassau to gaze upon the statue of pirate hunter
Woodes Rogers
, who re-
stored order to the city in 1718 and inspired the motto 'Expulsis Piratis, Com-
mercia Restituta' (Pirates Expelled, Commerce Restored).
