Did We Find an Abandoned Nazi Castle? (Ep. 29) 

hands down your best episode. i hope you get picked up by Discovery, History, or NatGeo instead of the stupid reality shows they have now.

I sailed there with students of International Field Studies in the late 70s. It was described in the Bahamas Yachting Guide as built in 1940 by a "Lord or Sir ?..." somebody from England. The guide, which I wish I still had, mentioned that on one side of the 7 acre i island was life stock, and on the other was fruit and vegetable being grown divided by a stone wall. Also, it mentioned the "Green Castle." We anchored outside, because the canal had been blown up by dynamite. so we dinghied into the island Where there was a strong concrete dock with large bollards. In the nearby maritime forest there was high antennaes sticking up, with machetes we cut through to see why? Underneath them were German radio parts and instructions scattered around a collapsed rotten wooden shack. There was no undergrowth on the well worn path to the "Green Castle" which was in good shape. We climbed onto the water tank to look in. There were nice furniture with modern German magazines lying around, which meant danger to us, so we left immediately. I asked an elderly Native on a nearby village, what was going on there. "I don't know Mon, all we did was gather food and put in on the dock, and in the morning it be gone, sir." I moved to California a couple of years later, and tried to get a document film maker to come back with me to document the place. The first thing I would do would be go to the library and obtain a Bahamas Yacht Guide before 1980, as that description above was in there annually into about 1980. I am sure you know that the deposed King, the Prince of Wales and his Hitler loving wife the Texan Divorcee were Nazis and I am sure the Sir? Englishman was a Nazi. They were "rescued" from the Nazis in Portugal and sent away to the Bahamas, which was under English Control. There are several books about them there, and they laundered money illegally. and supported Germany, helping finally. An American developer, evidently found out about them and was mysteriously murdered. The editor of YANKEE MAGAZINE interviewed several high ranking government officials, and went directly to Washington and told our president about his findings. He was told that it was well known and they were being watched carefully, READ: A CONSPIRACY OF CROWNS The True Story of the Duke Of Windsor And the Murder of Sir Harry Oakes by Alfred de Marigny with Mickey Herskowitz In my 8 plus wonderful years of sailing with Marine Science teachers and students, I wrote many logs and took many photos, which I could probably find if I looked hard enough. Yours in the truth of History. Ron Alexander I have interviewed Veterans for the Veterans History Section, The LIbrary of Congress. I have a small RU-vid Channel which you can find Dog Tags and Body Bags - a Tribute to CWO Barry Alexander, by Ron Alexander (on Twitter, fb kicked me off when I posted the Russian connection to 45 election to over 330,000 ("likes" - sent to me by FB) early on in 2017, then they kicked me off permanently despite many testimonies by by friends and large Veteran Group.

That was very interesting. Great history lesson. Dave is a treasure.

Really cool video, Josh. The Bahamas, back in the '20s, must have been truly wilderness. A pretty tough life for whoever lived in that castle full time.

I guess a no trespassing sign doesn't mean much nowadays.

Amazing video! Absolutely loved it

Something like iconic... this video...the spider in web shot was amazingly...the castle ...the bats...I meant to add. The focus was taken off the world...and came to zero When it was placed on the spider...which we usually overlook. And a pause...I liked that. A world of its own and it matters

The Englishman that developed and owned the island back in the 1930s was Sir Guy Baxter.

Amazing video. I passed thru that area several years ago with a local but did not get the history that you provided. Thanks for the great entertainment.

Wow great video man thanks

Love the show!!! Keep up the hard work and sailing ....

I was just writing out the cheque "forty millio......n," then you showed the spider !! I'm out 😳

Thanks for sharing! Stay safe!!

Another destination to add to my list!
