Nassau, the capital city of The Bahamas, is located on 21-mile-long New Providence, our 11th largest island. Nassaus main harbor is protected by Paradise Island. The harbor attracted settlers in the early days, particularly pirates. In fact, Nassaus population consisted mainly of pirates until 1718, when The Bahamas first Royal Governor, Woodes Rogers expelled them, restored order and built Fort Nassau. The Bahamas for centuries adopted Rogers motto, Expulsis Piratis, Restituta Commercia, which means, Pirates Expelled, Commerce Restored. Now, 212,000 people call New Providence Island home, with a large portion of them residing in Nassau. <\/p>\n
