![]() There is also suppose to be a Columbus memorial under the water, too. While I scuba dived in many places when I was there (a perk of working for the Club), I didn’t see one of the three ships in Columbus’ company, which is said to be lying on the bottom of the ocean nearby. The locals refer to it as “Columbus Isle”, because this is allegedly where Christopher Columbus really landed when he didn’t discover America (he never discovered America but I have to wait for the history books to get it right before I get on my soap-box about that). I want to note that at one point, I lived in the Bahamas for about 6 months back in 1993 when Club Med was building a $72 million dollar “village” on the tiny island of San Salvador (I have also been to Freeport and Nassau several times). ![]() ( Above: The remains of the piers for Treasure Island, Baker’s Bay) That ought to keep you out of trouble for a while! If you are too, I suggest you spend some time on a few of my Pinterest boards: “Creepy, Abandoned & Erie Places” (click HERE), “Creepy, Abandoned & Formerly Fun Parks” with tons of abandoned amusement parks (click HERE), and “Insane Asylums, Sanitariums and Prisons” (click HERE). Most people are intrigued by abandoned things and yes, I admit I’m one of them. It might not actually be a true Throw-Back-Thursday, because the small amount of information I can find on it says it may or may not have opened at all. They were two of my most popular posts so far, so I thought I’d give you the story of the third abandoned Disney “park”. They are River Country (click HERE) and Discovery Island (click HERE). I have in the past, posted articles about the abandoned Disney attractions at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
