Proceeds will be used towards the Museum’s new project on documenting the Boat Building Industry in The Turks and Caicos Islands and used for development of the museum on Providenciales. The documentary Vanishing Sail follows Alywn Enoe’s (in Carriacou) journey of determination and resilience over three years, from hauling trees with his sons, to a final traditional launching ceremony. Stories of the old Caribbean – trading by sail and smuggling contraband interweave a tribute to the independent spirit of a small island community.
It is our goal to document the Caicos Sloop industry and be able to preserve the methods through Museum displays and educational programming.

Grand Turk Museum Day 2018
Thursday, 13 December 2018
On Saturday, November 3rd 2018, the National Museum on Grand Turk hosted a Museum Day Community event. The purpose of the day was to reintroduce residents of the community to Turks and Caicos National Museum and to introduce new programming by the museum. The new programming includes the “People of the Islands Oral History Project”, a Community Mosaic on the boundary wall for the museum and garden and a monthly children’s club program to begin in January 2019.
The mosaic project was especially well received as both kids and adults really embraced the creation of the mosaic. We look forward to the continued involvement of the Grand Turk community as the mosaic is continued over the next year.
The tremendous support and participation shows that the Museum continues to receive the support of the community of Grand Turk.
The day could not have happened without the kind support of our sponsors: Carnival, Morris Cottingham, Blue Water Divers, Jack Shack, Oasis Divers, Turks Head Inne, Salt Raker, Digicel, Exclusive Escapes, White Sands Charters n’ Tours, Osprey, and Island Creations. A special thank you also goes to all of our volunteers who helped to make the day a success.

Grand Turk host SPCA Clinic
Thursday, 13 December 2018
The museum assisted the Turks & Caicos SPCA on Grand Turk by allowing them to hold their Spay and Neuter clinic in the Science Building. The clinic was held from November 14th to November 20th and was a huge success. There were over 90 animals that were treated! They even had a chicken show up! The space was well suited for the clinic and the central location made it easy for pet owners to bring in their pets. We had many children show up on a day that school was cancelled due to weather. The children learned about the importance of spay and neutering their pets and even watched the surgeries. Our own director Michael Pateman ended up adopting two puppies. One of our prior volunteers from Florida, Kelly Scudder-Temple, also adopted a puppy. This is another event that benefits the community that we were proud to participate in.
A very well done and thank you to the
TCSPCA volunteers, veterinarian and vet tech that also volunteered their time for this important cause.
Interested in adopting a pet or getting involved with the TCSPCA? Visit their website tcspca.tc or grandturkspca.org
