Landmark· Conception Island· Bahamas — Eleuthera, Andros & the Out Islands
BNT bird well (Conception)
23° 49.8′ N · 75° 7.6′ W · approximate
A cemented well the Bahamas National Trust dug in 1969 so the island's birds would have fresh water; fishermen used it for years before that.
Practical
BNT: on the western side of the island about half a mile north of the creek entrance, with raised sides and a sloped approach for birds. Point derived from that description (half a mile north of the OSM creek mouth). Not a water source for yachts - it exists for wildlife.

A curiosity on the walk between West Bay and the creek
