OK, but what is the origin of the name "Bimini"? Was it named after
the boat tops, or is it the other way around? And, what's a "Scotia"?

In my usual style, I'll answer the 2nd part of your question.
Scotia = latin for Scotland
that is... Nova Scotia is latin for New Scotland.

Sheriff John can answer the 1st part.

Hmmm. And I always thought it was the homeland of lox.

Nah - canned caribou farts.

Oh, I'm sorry - I meant to say caribou flatus.

Sound much more genteel.
