drew sailbum Posted January 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) The Elmslie Memorial Church is right by the dock. It's roof was designed by local shipwright Rayal Bodden and is quite beautiful, though not actually built from a slave ship. The church was built in the 1920's, more than 100 years after the end of slavery ship era in Cayman Islands. The roof is designed as an upside down ship's hull showing the craftsmanship that developed in support of Cayman's seagoing fore-bearers.
