Tiger Bay was called so due to the sailor that worked in its waters.The fast swirling waters reminded the sailors of the fast rapid movement of Tigers....Yes...its as simple as that.However,with sailors having the reputation for alchohol,Tiger Bay was not a popular place,it was a place much dreaded as the population of alcohlics far surpassed the the population of non-alcohlics.After a deterioration in the trades,emplyment and tourism,Tiger Bay needed some serious change. The very first of these changes was its name.
