This fact alone foreshadows to us how different the lives of the Miskito divers are from ours before Timmerman even goes into depth about the dangers and poor conditions lobster divers face in the pages that precede. He describes the dock that him and Benito are

The Nicarao are the Indian tribe that were occupying the shores of Lake Nicaragua when the Spaniards arrived in the 1500 's. "Agua" is the Spanish word for water.

The Eastern half of the country was once a British protectorate. 5“There are several indigenous groups that still maintain a distant identity like the Miskitos, Sumo, Garifuna and Rama.” These groups still use their original languages and some speak English or Spanish.

In the 16th century, gold stimulated Spanish conquest of the area. Gracias, the Honduran gold mining town, became the capital of Spanish Central America in 1544. However, by 1548 the Spaniards drained the gold. In the 1570s, a silver strike in the highland brought explorers to Honduras. This resulted in the ascend of an important centre at Tegucigalpa

There are currently 150 million Afro-descendants in Latin America who make up nearly 30 percent of the region’s population (Congressional Research Service, 2005).
