One of the more spectacular camping in missouri opportunities offered on Grand Turk is whale watching. Every year, from January through April, more than 2,500 humpback whales come to breed in the warm waters to the south and east of Salt Cay.
Calico Jack Captain John Rackham, called Calico Jack for the striped trousers he wore, was a pirate captain for the two years 1718 to 1720. During this short time he plundered many ships. He and his men were captured by the crew of a government ship and brought to trial at St. Jago de la Vega, Jamaica. Among Rackham s crew were his mistress, Mary Read, and Anne Bonney. They are the only female pirates on record. Rackham and Read were hanged in Port Royal on November 17, 1720.
