Sail boat in Nassau Harbor flying the British merchant ship flag, the United States of America flag, and the Russian merchant ship flag. The red flag with the Union Jack in the upper left corner is the official, historic seventeenth century Red Ensign flag of the British Merchant Navy. The white-blue-red flag was first adopted in 1699 by Tsar Peter I the Great as an ensign for Russian merchant ships and was later chosen as the official Russian flag in 1991, prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In the distance is the Hog Island Light (now Paradise Island). Hog Island Light, built 1817, is the oldest lighthouse in The Bahamas and is also the oldest surviving lighthouse in the West Indies. In 1962, the government changed the name of Hog Island to Paradise Island. Slide labeled Harbor entrance light Nassau.
