The Lovers

Named because of their close proximity, like two lovers about to kiss, the two small islands served as the British navy's training base in Pala until World War I. The North Island remains a small training base for British Navy soldiers, but the U.S. and other British allies have been known to have soldiers stationed there to receive training in underwater operations.

The South Island is a historical site, open to tourists wishing to visit the museum and the batteries set up to defend Gatestown. There are also old British warships set up for people to board and learn about, though none of them are seaworthy.
