UPCOMING EVENTS
Voices of Valour:
Cayman's Seafaring Stories
Tuesday, 6 May 2025 (6:00-7:30pm)
This Speaker Series offers a unique opportunity to sit with some of our esteemed Caymanian elders and seafarers as they share personal stories of life during World War II and the golden age of Cayman’s seafaring tradition — told from a truly Caymanian perspective.
Hear firsthand accounts of a time when Caymanian men, some as young as 17, left home to join the merchant ships and navigate treacherous waters in search of opportunity, while others stayed behind to safeguard the islands and keep families and communities strong.
Ensuring that future generations have the opportunity to experience our island's unique natural and cultural heritage.
