Real tigers must have lived there hence the name Tiger Bay 

Georgetown's Tiger Bay was named after another Tiger Bay next to a seaport in Wales UK. That Tiger Bay had a reputation of being a tough and dangerous neighborhood, according to Wikipedia. It was also a red light district frequented by sailors, just like Tiger Bay in Georgetown.

Tiger Bay is where the singer Shirley Bassey was born. Her mom had five kids for five different African men. One of them was probably our boy the Carib.
