They Dutch named places were always the hardest to say and spell, that's probably why we learned more of their contributions...  |

Port Mourant has quite a few sub divisions:
Bound Yard - where the indentured laborers were "bound" to live. Free Yard - where the "free" laborers lived. Portuguese Quarter - self explanatory Kaffrey Back - where the African Guyanese predominated Babu John - where Cheddi Jagan was cremated. The correct name is Babu Jahan. We have to get it back to its correct desinnation. Miss Phoebe Tain Clifton Ankerville |
