This gazebo overlooking the southern shore is on the meticulous grounds of Pedro St. James Castle, a National Historic Site. Grand Cayman’s oldest building stands near this waterfront on Pedro Point. The person who gave me access to photograph this living history museum in Savannah was Debbie Bodden. She shares the surname of the island’s first settler. Also spelled Bawden or Bowden, he was an English soldier with Oliver Cromwell’s army during the British attack of Jamaica in 1655. His grandson, Isaac Bodden, was born in 1661 and became the island’s first native resident.
