Neighborhood: Hope Town (Elbow Cay)
Overview
Wyannie Malone's family settled in Hope Town in 1875 and since then has collected memorabilia and photographs commemorating the Elbow Cay tradition. The small collection of exhibits includes apparatus used by the infamous wreckers. This group of unscrupulous denizens would give false signals to passing vessels to make them crash on the rocks and reef. Salvaged ship parts and the cargo itself were worth a great deal. Other pictures chronicle the Elbow Cay way of life and the development of Hope Town.
