  1. “THE CAY” Featuring the CALYPSO music: “REAL SITUATION” by Bob Marley & The Wailers

  2. Where is Curacao?

  3. Do you see Texas on the map? Now, look at the country of Venezuela in South America (it’s colored yellow.) Do you see it?

  4. Here’s a closer look at Venezuela. Now look north at the tiny island of Curacao. Willemstad is the capital. The island of Barbados is where the movie “Pirates of the Carribean” takes place

  5. The Island of Curacao was settled by the Dutch. In “The Cay” Phillip describes the island as looking like The Netherlands, but with brighter colors. Here’s an aerial shot of the capital city of Willemstad.

  6. In this satellite image of Willemstad, you can see the different places Phillip talked about in the book. THE PONTOON BRIDGE THE SEA WALL

  7. THE PONTOON BRIDGE

  8. In this picture, the pontoon bridge is being pulled back together after a ship has passed through. You can see the people are hurrying across the bridge, even before it’s closed!

  9. This is an offshore oil refinery, like the one that Phillip’s father worked at. Oil was a major source of income for the people of Willemstad.

  10. This is a picture of one of the many cays that are in the Caribbean. This island is similar in size to the one that Phillip and Timothy would have been stranded on. Can you see the sand and coral underneath the water? “THE CAY” By Theodore Taylor
