Caymanite
Looking for a citation & image of Eddie Scott's 1994 Caymanite Statue - the one of the two sea turtles that the State gave to Queen Elizabeth II that same year. It has probably appeared as an article in a 'Key to Cayman' magazine and similar publications. Possible that it might also be on a gov.ky page somewhere?

Minor update: it was Cayman's official 1994 Royal Visit gift for Queen Elizabeth II; the sculpture consisted of two miniature lifelike caymanite Hawksbill turtles. See http://www.caribbeancorners.us/index.php?categoryid=17 -hh ( talk) 20:06, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Topic for Discussion: 'Extinct Critters'
I've marked the main page with a needs citation for the early statement regarding crocodiles on Cayman Brac / Little Cayman. This would appear to be good/useful historical insight, but as per Wiki policies, it requires a firm source to provide a referencable citation. What is also similar to this ... but not yet mentioned ... is that there have also been old stories of the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus) also having been occasionally known to have been in the region, although they're not currently considered to be a native species (see [this 2006 story] Cayman Compass Baby Manatee Found)
The To Do task for here is to provide some useful citations to autheticate the crocodile history, as available.

Question on 'Local Economy':
Which is the recommended/superior approach to documenting local scuba diving operators? While they could notionally be listed here, I don't particularly care for that precidence, particularly for the slippery slope of tourism. It would appear to be preferrable to create such a list on Wiki Travel and simply provide a link to Wiki Travel from here. Comments?

Can anybody name the strait that separates Little Cayman and Cayman Brac? If so, I'll put it on the map of the islands that I've uploaded. Kelisi ( talk) 06:02, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

...refers to it as "Bogue Channel" (no article), but it was written by a non-Caymanian. So it seems clear to me that "Bogue" is at least a locally accepted name for the strait. If you find out otherwise, I'll take it off the map. Thank you again. Kelisi ( talk) 17:01, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

It is one of only a few sunken Soviet naval vessels in the Western Hemisphere, and the only one that is easily dived.
The wreck is the only Russian warship that divers can explore in the Western hemisphere. 151.29.137.229 ( talk) 07:45, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
