A strange, romantic interlude followed. In 1940, King Edward VIII, who had abdicated the British throne to marry American divorcée Wallis Simpson, was appointed Governor of the Bahamas. The Duke of Windsor, as he became, was bored and out of his depth, but his presence put the Bahamas on the international map as a glamorous, slightly decadent destination. He built roads, improved water supplies, and grumbled about his exile.
But the real future was tourism. After World War II, the Caribbean became a playground for wealthy Americans. The Bahamas, with its proximity to Florida, its duty-free shopping, and its promise of sun, sea, and sand, was perfectly positioned. Sir Stafford Sands, a powerful minister, rewrote tax laws to attract foreign investment. Developers like Huntington Hartford (on Hog Island, now Paradise Island) and Wallace Groves (on Grand Bahama, building the city of Freeport) poured in money. In the 1950s and 60s, tourists arrived by the hundreds of thousands, then millions. The Bahamas transformed from a poor sponge-fishing economy into a wealthy, service-oriented one.
On October 12, 1492, three Spanish ships under Christopher Columbus sighted land. Historians debate the exact island, but tradition points to San Salvador (then called Guanahani by the Lucayans). Columbus, believing he had reached the outskirts of Asia, claimed the island for Spain. He noted the friendly, handsome, and generous Lucayans, who traded parrots and spears for glass beads and hawks' bells. "They should be good servants," Columbus wrote in his journal.
That observation was a death sentence. Within 30 years, the entire Lucayan population—estimates range from 30,000 to 50,000—was gone. They were not killed primarily by war, but by enslavement. The Spanish, needing labor for their gold mines in Hispaniola, swept through the Bahamas in slaving raids. The shock of capture, the brutality of the voyage, and exposure to Old World diseases like smallpox and measles to which they had no immunity obliterated them. By 1540, the Bahamas were empty, a ghost archipelago haunted by the crumbling bohíos of a vanished people.
