Talk:Marigot Bay

Roseau - spelling
ummmm, rosseau isn't a typo, trust me, i see the sign every day, and i live 2 minutes from there Lucianotis
 * The sign must be incorrect because Roseau is definitely spelt with one "s". Look at the label on the back of any bottle of Bounty Rum. --Vivenot 17:31, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

i live there, you're in london. move to st. lucia full time and i'll go along with you


 * Firstly, this is a trivial point to argue on. Secondly, it doesn't matter where I live now if I am correct. For confirmation of the spelling of Roseau, please refer to "Roseau Valley" a poem written by Derek Walcott for George Odlum. Please do not revert the Marigot Bay article again. Thank you.--Vivenot 08:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Evidence for Ships Hiding in the Bay
Many places reference a story where British ships hid from French ships that were pursuing them (sometimes vice versa), winning a naval battle as a result. This includes many local tourism websites, hotel websites and the Lonely Planet guide. I can’t find any original source for this though: Is anyone aware of evidence for this?

The two significant naval battles around St Lucia were The Battle of the Saintes (further North than St Lucia) and the Battle of St Lucia (which took place in the bays further North of Marigot and didn’t involve any French pursuit).

The event is recorded in a painting which hangs (as of 2015) in the Boudreau Restaurant which may give at least some details of this event. Is anyone able to find this, or any more compelling evidence? BenjaminBluesilk (talk) 16:04, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
