I think some of the dates were 100-200 years too late. The article Piracy in the Caribbean says pirates were gone by the 1720s. See also Loyalists. I have gone ahead and moved dates back.

No mention of the enormous naval base there? Strange.

6000 feet is not 3+km, it is less than 2km. Either the depth in feet is incorrect or the conversion to km. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.247.135.33 (talk) 16:46, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Area and details of Andros

As far as i can tell, Andros Island really refers to a complex of islands - maybe separated by small lagoons in cases. What does the area of the island then, refer to? Can we change the description to match, maybe using "Andros Island complex" or listing out the districts? N yoder 12:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not the case, Andros is one island. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.71.64 (talk) 00:29, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have addressed this issue with specificity in my recent edits of the article .... Andros is politically one island, but in fact an archipelago with three main islands separated by "bights" that run from esat coast to west coast ... John.bond954 (talk) 20:13, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neville Chamberlain

Neville Chamberlain's failed attempt to grow sisal on Andros, for several years in the early 1890s, should surely be mentioned. He blew a chunk of his father's fortune and it is generally taken to have been a formative experience which hardened him and no doubt left him feeling he had something to prove.Paulturtle (talk) 02:06, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
