Bahamas Philately: Buccaneer Club

The Buccaneer Club was established c.1954 to provide food, drink and accommodation for tourists and yachtsmen in Governor’s Harbour.  At the time it was established, there was only one other guest house. It originally opened with four air-conditioned rooms, a large swimming pool and patio for sunbathing. A dining room offered Bahamian and American cuisine.

The original proprietors were Everild Young and  Kjeld Helweg-Larsen. The pair wrote several travel books on their adventures throughout the Caribbean including an entire book on Eleuthera entitled, From Arawaks to Astronauts.
