EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the 1920s, we find Walter and Clara Kendrick, a devoted missionary family from Aston, Birmingham, England, gathered around a map of the Bahamas and the West Indies. The couple, with their young daughter, appear focused and determined as they study the intricate details of the islands in the Caribbean. At the time of this image, Walter served as a medical missionary, based at a settlement on Green Turtle Cay, Abaco Island. The serene image belies the challenges they would have faced during their time in the Bahamas. One such challenge was the devastating hurricane of September 5, 1932, which struck the region with destructive force. Despite the hardships, the Kendrick family remained steadfast in their commitment to their mission, providing essential medical care and support to the local community. The map, with its intricate details and colorful markings, serves as a reminder of the vast and diverse landscape of the West Indies. The islands, scattered across the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, have long been a source of fascination for explorers, settlers, and travelers alike. For the Kendrick family, the map was an essential tool, guiding them through the unfamiliar terrain and helping them navigate the challenges of their mission. The photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection and determination, as the family prepares for the journey ahead. With the map spread out before them, they are poised to explore the wonders and challenges of the Bahamas and the West Indies, united in their commitment to their mission and their love for each other.
