On the third day of our cruise, we finally docked at the Port of Nassau, then we took the excursion "Explore New Providence Sightseeing Tour". We chose this one coz this is the only excursion that could allow us to have another tour the next day before leaving the island. So glad of our decision, it was indeed very interesting and educational as well.
New Providence is the most populous island in The Bahamas, containing more than 70% of the total population. It is the location of the national capital city of Nassau, whose boundaries are coincident with the island. The island was originally under Spanish control following Christopher Columbus's discovery of the New World, but the Spanish government showed little interest in developing the island (and The Bahamas as a whole). Nassau, the island's largest city, was formerly known as Charles-town, but it was burned to the ground by the Spanish in 1684. It was laid out and renamed Nassau in 1695 by Nicholas Trott, the most successful Lord Proprietor, in honor of the Prince of Orange-Nassau who became William III of England.
