History of Saint Vincent
Piracy has left its mark on the history of the Island of Saint Vincent. This island is a cave for corsairs. In 1815, a tunnel was dug in the volcanic rock to link the shore to the industry of Grand Stable. Vessels transported the cane and unloaded it at Black Point, located further north of St. Vincent. The construction of this tunnel was to facilitate the transport of sugar cane to the factory and to store it under cover. Therefore, it is an unavoidable place for smugglers.
