The Lord Proprietors faced significant challenges in the Bahamas, primarily due to the region's harsh conditions and the inability to establish a stable economy. Their initial attempts to cultivate cash crops like cotton and indigo failed, and the lack of resources and infrastructure hindered settlement. Additionally, the islands became a haven for pirates, which disrupted trade and discouraged legitimate economic activities. Ultimately, the proprietors could not maintain effective control, leading to the eventual takeover by the British Crown in 1718.
