	Cayman Trough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cayman Trough, or Cayman Trench, also called Bartlett Deep, or Bartlett Trough, is a spreading ridge on the floor of the western Caribbean Sea between Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.
		The relatively narrow trough trends east-northeast to west-southwest and has a maximum depth of 7,686 meters (25,216 ft); it is the deepest point in the Caribbean Sea.
		The trough appears to be a slowly spreading ridge which may be the result of an offset or gap of approximately 420 kilometers (260 mi) along the transform fault that runs through the area.
