Mark Kurlansky Quotes

Under The Rules Of Colonialism, Everything Goes To And Comes From The Mother Country. In 1870, The Colony Of Turks And Caicos Was Asked To Send A Crest To England So That A Flag For The Colony Could Be Designed. A Turks And Caicos Designer Drew A Crest That Included Salt Cay Saltworks With Salt Rakers In The Foreground And Piles Of Salt. Back In England, It Was The Era Of Arctic Exploration, And, Not Knowing Where The Turks And Caicos Was, The English Designer Assumed The Little White Domes Were Igloos. And So He Drew Doors On Each One. And This Scene Of Salt Piles With Doors Remained The Official Crest Of The Colony For Almost 100 Years, Until Replaced In 1968 By A Crest Featuring A Flamingo.
