1. Harold J. Lowe Marker

Inscription. Born in new Plymouth, Mr. Harold figured prominently in the development of Green Turtle Cay and the northern Abacos. In the tradition of the earliest settlers, he farmed at Munjack Cay, then shipped aboard a four-masted schooner. In the early 1930s Harold and his brother Basil established a successful sharkfishing operation. He proved his mettle during the 1932 hurricane when, without food or water for three days, he lay beneath a sail lashed to a tree trunk at Carter Cay. In the 1940s, he entered the crawfishing industry. Enterprising and civic-minded, Mr. Harold has held the positions of justice of the peace, island historian, and lay preacher.
