It's hard to realize how big the ship really is until you stand next to her at a port!

Wonder docked at nassau

A Bahamian naval vessel looks very small next to Wonder!

A view down The Queen's Staircase. It was built by slave labor as the entrance to Fort Fincastle. Originally there were 66 steps, all hand carved. Over the years, road paving and resurfacing has raised the street level so that only 65 steps remain. All of the rock cut away was used to build the fort.

Sunset in Nassau. The building in the center of the picture is the former British Colonial Hotel. It's owned by Hilton now.]

Just one of many old, boarded up buildings in Nassau. It reminded me of a watercolor painting.

This is the entrance to the pier area in Nassau

This is a view of part of the city of Nassau from Fort Fincastle. The lighthouse in the harbor is slightly below the center of the picture. If you look closely, you can see the bow of Wonder just below the horizon on the right side.
