1. William Roy Lowe, M.B.E. Marker
William Roy Lowe can claim the earliest English settlers in the Bahamas as his forebears. In the tradition of his ancestors, Roy became a self-taught sea captain. A crawfish fisherman in the 1940s, he left Green Turtle Cay for Nassau where he was given the responsibility of captaining an official Mail Boat. He also maintained various lighthouses under the authority of the Imperial Lighthouse Service. For his many years of service, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II granted onto him the dignity of becoming a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. Roy Lowe married Nellie Elaine Albury in 1955. Their union produced Ruth Daisy, William Albert, Ira Gordon, and Gary Roy.
