Sugar plantations
The land where the former Lind family sugarcane plantation stood in Arroyo, Puerto Rico is now property of the electric company and there is no on-site indication of its historic significance. If not for events and programs like the 5th Bomba Research Conference, the memories of historic sites such as this one could be lost forever.

Sugar plantations
This land is where the former enslaver Eduardo Lind lived. It was once a sugar plantation called "La Henriqueta". This property was visited by the attendees of the 5th Bomba Research Conference as "an opportunity for site-specific learning where attendees heard details about a family of enslavers and the plantation that connects to the ancestors of Arroyo’s most famous drummer." (Melanie Maldonada, PROPA) <br /><br /><em>Historical Note</em>: Eduardo Lind was married to Samual Morse’s daughter. The first time Morse Code was tested in Puerto Rico was on this property. The first words that were transmitted, across a two mile line from La Henriqueta to their house in Arroyo were, <span>"Puerto Rico, beautiful jewel! When you are linked with the other jewels of the Antilles in the necklace of the world's telegraph, yours will not shine less brilliantly in the crown of your Queen!"</span>

Attendees of the 5th BRC visited the ruins of La Henriqueta, thanks to the generous donation of a bus by the municipality of Arroyo. According to PROPA director Melanie Maldonado, "PROPA’s BRC first utilized these southern ruins in 2013 to create an opportunity for site-specific learning where attendees heard details about a family of enslavers and the plantation that connects to the ancestors of Arroyo’s most famous drummer."
