Pigeon Cay memorial cross (Bishop Churton)
22° 12.9′ N · 75° 45.3′ W
A memorial cross on tiny Pigeon Cay, at the mouth of the Duncan Town channel, for Henry Churton, Anglican Bishop of Nassau, who died in a sailing accident in 1904.
Practical
Position from GeoNames (Pigeon Cay, rock). Bahamas.com describes the memorial cross; Wikipedia gives his death as 20 January 1904 in a yachting accident. The cay lies about 0.2 nm east of the ActiveCaptain Duncan Town channel start waypoint (22°13.006'N 75°45.468'W), so you pass it on the way in by boat or dinghy. View from the water; landing is on rock and only in calm conditions.
