Photos of Barbados

The Morgan Lewis Windmill in St. Andrew, Barbados, is the largest and only fully functioning sugar windmill in the Caribbean. This mill ground sugarcane from the 18th century through 1947. In 1962, the Barbados National Trust acquired the mill for preservation as a museum, and it was restored to full functionality.
