The island is uninhabited, but has been used by whalers to flensing flense their catches to the current day, although this practice is now limited both by season and by law to conserve the whale population as an endangered species. Whaling by early settlers to Bequia was undertaken to help feed their isolated community. Hunting was and still is carried out in small boats using a hand held harpoon, a skill passed down through generations, and made newsworthy by world renowned local legend and whale boat captain, Athneal Ollivierre died 2000 , and who was also part owner of Petit Nevis.

Orphan date March 2009 Unreferenced date March 2009 Moonhole is a community on the island of Bequia Bek way in the Grenadines , started by Thomas Johnston. In the late 1960 s, Johnston had a lucrative advertising business on Madison Avenue , in New York City . He sold the business and bought the southern tip of the island which contains a large aperture formed by the waves in the lava called Moonhole. He moved to the island with a book on construction with prestressed concrete and began building bungalos apartments villas on the cliff side. Using the concrete to build these apartments into the cliffs led to large open rooms with magnificent views of the ocean. With no wells or electricity, all water is collected by the roofs into cisterns for bathing and washing. The master bath in one villa had a large tree that grew right up through a large hole in the roof. When it rained, rain dripped through the ceiling and into the roots in the bedroom. Windows were often very large and only those that faced the prevailing winds west had plexiglass panels that could be lowered into place. The various apartments surrounded a central social dining room, veranda and large bar made from a whale s jaw bone. People from the village below came in daily to bring in fresh fruit and freshly baked bread and to do any necessary cooking. Although there is a wet and a dry season, the weather is very temperate and lovely. The beaches are magnificent and white.

File Sailors valetine.JPG thumb Sailors valentines A sailor s valentine is a type of antique souvenir , or sentimental gift, originally brought home from a sailor s voyage at sea for his loved one between 1830 and 1890. ref name fondas Fondas, John. Sailors Valentines , Rizzoli International Publications, 2002 ref Sailor valentines are typically octagonal, glass fronted, hinged wooden boxes ranging from 8 to 15 in width, displaying intricate symmetrical designs composed entirely of small sea shell s of various colors glued onto a backing. Patterns often feature a centerpiece such as a compass rose or a heart design, hence the name, and in some cases the small shells are used to spell out a sentimental message. Although the name seems to suggest that the sailors themselves made these objects, a large number of them originated in the island of Barbados , which was an important seaport during this period. Historians believe that the women there made the valentines using local shells, or in some cases with shells imported from Indonesia , and then the finished products were sold to the sailors. ref name fondas In his book Sailors Valentines, John Fondas concludes that the primary source for sailors valentines was the New Curiosity Shop, located in McGregor Street, Bridgetown , Barbados, and a popular shop where sailors would purchase souvenirs. The shop was owned by the English brothers B.H. and George Belgrave. ref See also Norma Faria, http www.caribbeancompass.com scrimshaw.htm Scrimshaw Art in Bequia , Caribbean Compass , March 1998 ref Fondas research tells of a sailors valentine reconstruction, during which the reconstructing artist found pieces of a Barbados newspaper inside the backing. Today, antique sailors valentines are collectibles, valued for their beauty and unusual qualities. Collector interest has sparked a resurgence in sailors valentines as an art form, and shell kits and patterns are now sold at craft shops. ref Constance Marshall Miller, Mary S. Pag ... more details
