Man-O-War Cay Travel Guide

Man-O-War Cay is a small island in the Abaco region of the Bahamas.
It has a population of about 300 Bahamian residents and about 135 foreign resident families. The island is famous for its boat-building history. William H. Albury was famous in the country for his tremendous boat building skills. He built his first schooner at the age of 14. Albury died in 1972, but the boat building on the Cay still lives on. The newer generations have resorted to building fiberglass boats opposed to the wooden vessels.
This island is about 2.5 miles (4km) long and the community is very close-knit. They have two small grocery stores, a marina, a few gift shops, and a hardware shop. No liquor is sold on the island. The people are very conservative, and still hold deep affection and loyalty to the British Crown. The majority of the residents are avid church-goers. The island has three churches, one Baptist, one Pentecostal, and one Brethren.
Man-O-War Cay is represented in Parliament by The MP (Member of Parliament) for the South Abaco constituency, Mr. Edison Key.
Currently, Man-O-War's representatives on the Hope Town District Council, (which also includes two other neighboring Cays) are: Mr. Jeremy Sweeting, Mr. Christopher Albury, and Mr. Joseph Albury. Mr. Sweeting serves as the Chief Councillor for their District.
