On November 6th, 1717 Captain Woodes-Rogers was appointed as the Governor of the Bahamas. He sailed from England on April 11th, 1718, in the "Delicia", with orders to stamp out piracy, prevalent in the West Indies. He met with a certain amount of success, making possible the Island motto: "Expulsis Piratis, Restituta Commercia".
"Delicia" is the Island badge.
