I stumbled upon the people of Man-O-War Cay by accident while researching family history last year. The people of Man-O-War are descendants of British Loyalists who fled following the American Revolution. The founders of the island, affectionately known as “Mammy Nellie” and “Pappy Ben,” are my fifth generation grandparents. Although the people of Man-O-War do not marry close relatives, most of the three hundred inhabitants are descended from Mammy Nellie and Pappy Ben in some way.This collection of images is representative of my personal understanding Man-O-War as a place, a history, and my past.
