Grand Turk was first settled in 1681 by Bermudians, who started a salt industry. In 1766, the Island became the territory's capitol, Cockburn Town. It has the second largest population of the archipelago with 3,720 people. There are those that believe that it was here that Columbus first set foot in the America’s, and although San Salvador is still accepted as being the actual island where he landed, there is convincing evidence that this may not be so. For years Grand Turk was frequently referred to as Grand Cay. Grand Turk gained attention in 1962, when John Glenn's Friendship 7 splashed into the Atlantic Ocean, off the southeast shoreline of the Grand Turk Island. A replica of the Friendship 7 is on display in Grand Turk at the entrance to the Grand Turk Island International Airport.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Captain Hank Bracker" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/captain-hank-bracker/grand-turk-island-is-so-named-because-it-is-the-largest-island-in-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8c0/captain-hank-bracker-47159_astronaut_grand-turk-island-is-so-named-because-it_302268.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8c0/captain-hank-bracker-47159_astronaut_grand-turk-island-is-so-named-because-it_302268.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8c0/captain-hank-bracker-47159_astronaut_grand-turk-island-is-so-named-because-it_302268.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Grand Turk Island is so named because it is the largest island in the Turks Islands, which is the smaller of…” — Captain Hank Bracker", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/turk-island/captain-hank-bracker/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/turk-island/captain-hank-bracker/", "name": "Turk Island Quotes by Captain Hank Bracker", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/turk-island/captain-hank-bracker/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8c0/captain-hank-bracker-47159_astronaut_grand-turk-island-is-so-named-because-it_302268.jpg" }, "description": "1 Turk Island quotes by Captain Hank Bracker.
