東加勒比海航行的最後一站是 Grand Turk ( 大特克).

Grand Turk  是 Turks and Caicos Islands 群島中的一個島嶼.

 

The Turks and Caicos Islands  are a British Overseas Territory

 consisting of two groups of tropical islands in the West Indies,

 the larger Caicos Islands and the smaller Turks Islands,

 known for tourism and as an offshore financial centre.

The Turks and Caicos Islands lie southeast of Mayaguana in the Bahamas island chain

 and north of the island of Hispaniola. Cockburn Town,

 the capital since 1766, is situated on Grand Turk Island

 about 1,042 kilometres (647 mi) east-southeast of Miami in the United States.

 

 The islands have a total land area of 430 square kilometres (170 sq mi).

 The islands are geographically contiguous to the Bahamas,

  but are politically a separate entity.

 The total population is about 45,000,

 of whom approximately 22,500 live on Providenciales in the Caicos Islands.

In August 2009, the United Kingdom suspended the Turks and Caicos' self-government

 after allegations of ministerial corruption.

 The prerogative of the ministerial government and the House of Assembly

are vested in the islands' incumbent governor, Ric Todd, for a period of up to two years.
