The Valley Anguilla, 30th October 2019 – The Department of Youth and Culture (DYC) will be celebrating Anguillian Shipwrights, Ships and Sailors in the 2020 Culture and Arts Calendar. As part of the feature, the department will highlight stories and photos detailing the history of the island’s rich affinity to the ocean.
