The seaplane base was established by Chalks in 1926 and continues to be operated by such.[2] HistoryIn 1926, Chalk's International Airlines built an air terminal on a landfill island, Watson Island, where it continued to operate for over 75 years. Its scheduled and other flights by flying boats and amphibian aircraft served many points in the Bahamas and other nearby destinations. Chalk's moved its flights to its main engineering and operating base at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport after the attacks of September 11, 2001, because of security concerns around the Port of Miami-Dade and increased helicopter traffic around Watson Island. Chalk's ceased operations in December, 2005. In 2011 Tropic Ocean Airways began service to North Bimini Seaplane Base. As of January 2018, the airline operates several scheduled flights per day from the seaplane base to North Bimini and charter flights to multiple locations throughout The Bahamas and Florida.
