Shipwreck

The Devil’s backbone is a treacherous coral reef which lies off of the shore of North Eleuthera, Bahamas. The ocean floor between the coral heads is littered with the remnants of numerous shipwrecks that have occurred on the reef, and many legends have their beginnings here. One such legend is cited in this book.
Even today, Yachtsmen travelling the waters of North Eleuthera to visit Harbour Island are warned to use the services of a local guide and to advise their insurance companies of their plans.
