| The Bahamas are a group of islands located in the Atlantic Ocean north and East of Cuba |
| or as a gentleman from the islands informed us they are a bunch of land surrounded by water. |
| Nassau is the capital and largest city of the islands and is located on New Providence Island at the North |
| end of the chain. With a total area of approximately 5,358 square miles or 13,939 square |
| kilometers their highest land point is Mount Alvernia with a height of 206 feet. The population is approximately |
| 320,000 people who use the Bahamian dollar as their monetary unit. The chief language spoken in the |
| islands is English as spoken in the British Nations. Both Roman Catholicism and Protestant |
| Churches exist on the Islands as their major religions. For the most part the islands are covered |
| with forests, however some of the land is used for the raising of vegetables and there are no major |
| mineral occurrences. Marine harvest include Turtles, Sponges, Pearls and other Aquatic life. |
| The major businesses of the area are in its resorts and other tourist related fields. |
| According to a message in the material from the Bahaman Government, "Although |
| the Islands of the Bahamas comprise the world's best fishing grounds, if you |
| try hard enough you can manage not to catch anything.". |
