Heritage Dictionary

Brought to you from the forthcoming book by renowned historian Dr. Lennox Honychurch.

Port Anse Kwab (F)

A tall cone shaped islet covered in trees located about 100 meters off the north coast in the area of Anse Soldat. In English it would be "Gateway to the Bay of Crabs." A "Soldat" in Creole is a "soldier" or "hermit" crab. The small bay directly adjacent to Port Anse Kwab is called in Carib, "Womabatti." There are a lot of crabs of all sorts there as well. To enter this bay from the sea, boats have to go through a channel behind the islet. It is therefore the landmark that guides fishermen to the bay of crabs.
