1. Albert William Lowe Marker
No man symbolizes the people of Abaco, their history, and tradition better than Albert Lowe. He is a descendent of Gideon and Nancy Lowe and Benjamin and Mary Corey, who were among the first settlers of New Plymouth, where Albert was born, grew up, married Ann Curry, and raised their children: Bertram, Eva, Alton, and Leonard. Captain, craftsman, farmer, and fisherman, “Pa” Albert crewed the three-masted schooners, hunted the Andros flats for sponges, caught sharks, and built boats. He became well known for his intricately-carved model ships. Some of these are permanently exhibited in the Albert Lowe museum.
Erected by New Plymouth Historical Society.
