Four rounds on the islands
The name, the islands and the weather asks about Grand Bahama, Mount Alvernia and the day it snowed in Freeport. Limestone, reefs and island life has the Bimini Road, straw work and Junkanoo. Lucayans, Adventurers and pirates runs from Guanahani to 1783. Colony, independence and symbols has the flag and the coat of arms.
For a class, a cruise or a quiz night
Tapping an answer brings the marking at once, plus a sentence of explanation and a link to the article behind it. The island of the capital and the governor who ended the pirate years are not asked; other packs on this site ask them.
