Primary Interest:
Shipwrecks
Is there any place or way to find a list of vessels lost in the 1920s I know that due to the nature of what they were doing that there was probably no reported sinking the wreck that I have found is out of the roaring 20s just trying to identify it
 
There should be a wiki list of all wrecks per year, these may not show what was actually being carried but insurance was claimed I can promise you...those bootleggers used respectable boats in the dead of night etc. and would not have missed a trick where income was concerned. The Bahamian archives on Mackie street next to the Sally Army would also be a good place to look, newspaper reports will probably be in the archive boxes.
Hope this helps, if you want any Bahamas help with introductions in Nassau, let me know
 
Thank you I have found some coins dating that time period and not sure if it is much of a find but due to it location and who owner and operated out of this area at the time I thinks it's worth going so research on I may take you up on your offer thanks
