Find me a detailed map of Great Stirrup Cay, either on the web or
available for purchase on paper. I would prefer it show names and
details of island features but if that is unavailable then a good
satelite image would do, but it is out of the coverage range of
terraserver.microsoft.com and the USGS. The island is located about 25
degrees 49 minutes North by 77 degrees 54 minutes West.

Great Stirrup Cay is one of the Bahamas, owned and developed by
Norwegian Cruise Lines as a tourist location.  It is at the northern
limits of the Berry Islands; halfway between Freeport and Nassau.

Here's a picture of the marine chart from the Degree Confluence
Project site (June 30, 2002):

There are at least four chart options for the island.  Each of these
is available from multiple outlets, including a good boating supplies
store.  I've cited some examples of where the charts can be seen and
ordered on-line:

1. DMA Chart #26328 for the Berry Islands ($17.75), here listed by
Bluewater Books and Charts:

2. British Admiralty charts ($36.50), here listed by Bluewater Books:

3. Maptech provides spiral bound chartbooks for the entire Bahamas
chain ($129):

4.  "Explorer Chartbook -- Near Bahamas," Monty & Sara Lewis ($45)
includes the Berry Islands:
http://www.explorercharts.com/

A Google search strategy using ONLY the island's name yields lots of
background information and great pictures but no detailed maps.  These
two search strategies provide chart options:
"Great Stirrup Cay" + chart
"Great Stirrup Cay" + map
