Practical
Wikipedia: built 1957-1959 as a US Navy LORAN station, later the Bahamian Field Station; over 1,000 students and researchers a year. Bahamas tourism: supports the community with potable water and shelters some of the remaining San Salvador rock iguanas. A working research site, not a tourist attraction - contact them before visiting. Position from OSM.
