The Welcome Guide to the British Virgin Islands Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. In the 18th Century Beef Island was a fertile and a productive piece of flat land. It also possesses some beautiful beaches, bays and anchorages. In 1717 Captain Chandler of HMS Winchelsea visited Beef Island and recorded five families living there producing Indian corn, yams, potatoes and cotton. Chandler also recorded the existence of pirates and that many locals joined them in their raids. Black Sam Bellamy, after whom Bellamy Cay is named was mentioned by Chandler: "When we came, the pirates hid themselves in the rocks," He also noted that one Ham, a notorious villain living on Beef Island, was on board Bellamy the pirate's boat, "and as soon as they fired a gun at Virgin Gorda, he took himself to a Bermuda boat he has . . . and lurked about the creeks and islands until we were gone." Han's Creek, a quiet bay on Beef Island's southwestern shore may well have been named after the rogue, Ham.
