Old Steamer Beach

Hopewell is the location of Old Steamer Beach, west of the main center of the parish. The skeleton of the U.S.S. Caribou, a wood hull steamer dating from 1887 that washed off its mooring from Mobay, is still located on the beach. The ship's hull and timber remains sit just under the low tide waterline. The remains of the boiler stands a few feet above the water.

Bamboo District

Off the main road, heading south from the center of the settlement, is the bamboo district, once known for its large production of tall bamboo trees and thick jungle environment.

gollark: Well, I wanted to write a thing, and my choices are/were essentially:- Rust - kind of annoying (yes, yes, I know) since I don't care that much about performance and don't mind just waiting for the garbage collector to garbage collect- JavaScript - fast/easy for me to write, but horribly resource-inefficient and it'll probably break in a few months from dependencies- Python - I don't really like it for larger-scale things, and dependency management is still fairly bees- something else, and I'd heard OCaml was neat
gollark: Yes, I'm assuming it probably isn't, but I don't know what *is* going on.
gollark: I duckduckwent it and found a compiler bug which looked related, but it was fixed last year.
gollark: `('a -> ('b, [< Caqti_error.t ] as 'c) result Lwt.t) -> ('a, 'c) Caqti_lwt.Pool.t -> ('b, string) Lwt_result.t`
