(Guiana Graphic September 29. 1959)
Crab Island, a large junk of silted land in the Berbice River off New Amsterdam may soon be converted into a beautiful tourist attraction.
Some enterprising businessmen are making efforts to acquire the island for a coconut grove and to build a healthy tourist resort.
The half mile long piece of forest grew naturally out of the river from the silt.
Soon it will no longer be an island because the silt is joining it rapidly at the New Amsterdam end where the channel has already been closed.
