Deep Dive - where you can learn more about Glass Window Bridge.

In 1885 American artist Winslow Homer was on assignment for “Century Magazine,” chronicling his trip through the Bahamas in watercolors. When he came to this site he saw the stone arch in its original state – a natural arch separating the deep blue of the Atlantic from the natural turquoise of the Bight of Eleuthera. He painted the arch and named his work “Glass Windows, Bahamas.” The arch is long gone, the victim of countless hurricanes, but the name, and the watercolor, remain. The original watercolor is owned by the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
