Today in Bajan History, Call for Deepwater Harbor, November 11, 1950. On this day, November 11, 1950, The Barbados Advocate reported on the contents of the speech given by London-based Barbadian physician and Pan-Africanist, Dr. Cecil Banfield Clarke. His comments came in the wake of his recent tour of the Caribbean, a region he had not visited for some 25 years. In an address to the Royal Empire Society, Dr. Clarke called for the construction of a deep-water harbor in Barbados.
