M/V Lady Frances

      This is M/V Lady Frances, hailing from Nassau, Bahamas.  She is the backbone of the outter islands and the lifeline to the civilized world.  In the Bahamas she is quite often called the mail boat.  There are many mail boats in the Bahamas.  Most resemble the Lady Francis.  Although called a mail boat, she carries everything and anything.  Remember there are no roads from there to here.  If you're building a house, the mail boat brought the materials.  If you bought a new car, the mail boat brought it.  When the mail boat arrives it's a social event in Black Point Settlement, everybody comes to the government dock.  We always look forward to the mail boat's arrival for she brings fresh produce.
