From what I heard about the structures at Happy Bay was that a resort was being built there. You would notice the now dilapidated structures there now. When they first were built they looked quite nice with high end finishing's. I can't recall if they ran out of money or what. This had to be shortly after Hurricane Lenny.

I recall it looked like everyone stopped working one day and left everything in the rooms, cabinets, fixtures, doors etc.

Also the front of the buildings would flood during heavy rains and it was like a swamp in from of them. Possibly why they did not continue building, the cost of fixing the drainage issue may have been too high.

I also remember that the Gendarmes had barracks in one of the northern buildings there for new recruits at one time????
