Labadee is on a peninsula on the north coast of Hispaniola, otherwise known as Haiti. Hispaniola was the name Christopher Columbus gave to the entire island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The Bell Tower (circa 20 May 1789) was erected to announce the arrival of ships so that farmers could bring their produce down to port to sell to sailors.
