Listen to the Story.
It's a tiny island, colonized by British Puritans in 1629, and used as a base by British privateers, including Capt. Henry Morgan, as they attacked Spanish shipping and trading centers in the New World.
Although Old Providence, also called Isla de Providencia, has long been part of Colombia, and lies close to the coast of Nicaragua, the mother tongue remains an English-based creole.
