Trinity plantation

By the early nineteenth century, over 1,000 people were enslaved there producing mainly sugar and rum for which a mile-long aqueduct was built by Nathaniel Bayly to supply water for the refining process.

Among the earliest owners of Trinity plantation were Isaac Gale (died 1748),[4] and Zachary Bayly (died 1769),[5] who also owned the Tryall, Brimmer Hall, and Roslyn plantations, which formed one contiguous area of around 4-5,000 acres known as Bayly's Vale.

In addition, Nathaniel Bayly built an aqueduct, completed in 1797, of over a mile's length from Port Maria Western River to Trinity.

[11] It is shown centrally in James Hakewill's illustration of the plantation with the Brimmer Hall works and overseer's house in the background.

The sale particulars stated that it was of 816 acres with 227 under cultivation, with 111 animals, mostly steers, and multiple buildings and machinery.
