Rum Cay, Island in The Bahamas.

Located in the southern region of The Bahamas, Rum Cay extends over 30 square miles with rolling hills reaching heights of 120 feet.

The original Lucayan inhabitants named the island Mamana, meaning mid waters land, and left petroglyphs in Hartford Cave depicting their ancient civilization.

Port Nelson, the only inhabited settlement on Rum Cay, features street signs shaped like the island and a town square named after Sir Milo Butler.

Visitors can access Rum Cay through Port Nelson Airport, which receives domestic flights from Nassau and offers charter service options.

The wreck of HMS Conqueror, Britain's first propeller-driven warship, rests 30 feet underwater off Sumner Point Reef since its 1861 incident.
