"Swanupping," the npme of this ceremony, dates from the time when young swans were table delicacies and were termed "birds royal." No one could keep them unless he had a special license from the crown, and each keeper had his own "swanmark," somewhat like cattle brands. Swans will nest year after year in the same place unless they are disturbed or their food supply gives out.

Named Gnlf of Pearls Whtsn Columbus discovered Trinidad in 1498 he called the bay on the western side of the island the Gulf of Pearls, because of the gems found in the oysters which had attached themselves to the trunks of the mangrove trees growing along the sho*e, with their roots in he bay. Columbus believed that when the oysters opened their "mouths" drops of dew from the trees fell into them and that these drops eventually grew into pearls. He hoped, it is recorded, to gather enough pearls to make a necklace for Queen Isabella, but moved on from Trinidad before accomplishing his quest.
