They cooked in the cave and hid things there that they stole from people. The cave is a big rock with an opening in it. Pirates hid in the cave, that is why it is called the Pirates' Cave.

Junior 2 In the cave it is very dark and scary. The pirates took things from people and hid them in the cave. The treasure box has in old money and old pots. In the cave it is very wet and the skeleton, spiders, scorpions, centipedes and bats make me afraid. The bats fly around in the cave. The skeletons are leaning on the ground of the cave. Many bones are in the cave. The bones come from dead people who the pirates killed. In the old days they cooked in the cave. When I see the skeleton I know that people died in the cave.

Junior 3 One of the most interesting places on the Islands is the cave. I visited the pirate's cave in East End. The cave is a big rock with an opening in the front of it through which people can walk. Pirates hid gold and silver in the caves. They used to hide away in there. In olden days pirates used to cook in the caves. In the caves there are centipedes, spiders, scorpions and bats. It is wet, dark and scary and makes you afraid to stay in there. People visit the caves in Grand Cayman to see some of the things that were used by the pirates.
