Description


Bushiribana Gold Mine Ruins There was a time in the early 1800′s when gold was mined in Aruba. It was nothing like the gold strikes in South America, but still, there were some thousands of ounces to be recovered. A massive stone building was constructed on the east side of the island by the Aruba Island Gold Mining Company used as a gold smelting operation for gold mined at Seroe Plat. This is all that remains of the building. Over the course of 150 years, Aruba became a hideaway for pirates and buccaneers.

Very good clarity and focus Ed. An interesting bit of history. 150 years ago men thought there was gold everywhere.
