Default Ever heard of Pickles Bank (Caribbean)?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find information on a location known a "Pickles Bank".

Its in the Caribbean, reportedly within a hundred or so miles of
Cayman Brac / Little Cayman.

My *guess* would be to the north, towards Cuba, but there's supposedly
some small uninhabited low-lying islands someplace to the south too,
where Braccers used to collect seabird eggs back in the 1920's and
1920's (IIRC, there's a description in the book "Storm of '32").

Since I'm a scuba diver and not a cruiser, I don't have regional
navigation maps that would hopefully reveal this location. My
interest is because I may have a way of visiting this area to do some
dives on it, so I'm trying to find out if its something "interesting"
or not: ie, is it a coral encrusted deepwater pinnicle in heavy
currents, or is it just a sand flat, etc?

Long/Lat, anything else would be appreciated.

TIA,

-hh
