From the time of Saba's Golden Age in the 1800's, most Saban families were headed by Sea Captains who passed their sea-going skills down from generation to generation through the early 1900's. Since its settlement in the 1600's as a safe haven for the families of pirates, Sabans have been famous throughout the Caribbean and the World for their skill as sailors. Simon Bolivar made several stops in Saba to recruit sailors in his fight for South American independence. A statue of Bolivar now stands outside the museum in Windwardside - a gift from the government of Venezuela. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Captain's Quarters, we asked Saba's historian - Senator Will Johnson to compile biographies of Saba's most famous sea captains. Each room in the hotel has been named for one of our captains - with the appropriate plaque, biography and photos. Copies will also be placed in our new cliffside dining room The Captain's Table. The photos - many of them quite damaged by age and tropical conditions on Saba have been restored by Kenneth Holm.
