General Information:
During prohibition in the US Bimini was a favorite haven for the rum running trade.
William S. McCoy used Bimini to transport whiskey to America and some claim the term " the real McCoy" came from this. Bimini was a common travel destination for Hemingway. Which was the inspiration for " the Old Man and the Sea " and " Islands in the Stream ". The hotel known as Compleat Angler Hotel where he once stayed was destroyed in 2006 by fire.
Ernest Hemingway was a guest from 1935 - 1937 and was said to have worked on " To Have and Have Not" there. The hotel was damaged in a 1936 hurricane but repaired. The hotel later became a tourist attraction for Bimini and housed Hemingway memorabilia, including signed copies of his work and photographs. The owner Julian Brown perished in the blaze after leading a guest to safety.
