hey sailed on some of the fastest, most beautiful
ships ever to ply the waters of the Caribbean. They
hailed from Europe and North America and went throughout the islands seeking excitement and adventure…trinkets to show and stories to tell their friends and family
back home. They wore their tans as a badge of pride.
They loved their wine and beer and sought out the very
best food. Entertained by live music, they loved to dance
and sing on board ship. When they finally came ashore
in St. Thomas, though they were rowdy and raucous at
times, noisy, and boisterous, bedecked in a strange assortment of attire…though they often had a bit too much
to drink and at the end of the day could only find their
ship with the help of equally inebriated friends. The local
merchants welcomed them with open arms…after all …
they had money…lots of money…and they were eager to
spend it in St. Thomas.
Cruise passengers today use phrases like “Which way
to the buffet?” and “Is this on sale?” While the cruisers
mentioned above used phrases such as “Me hearties”
and the ever popular “Shiver me timbers!” The pirates
loved St. Thomas too and perhaps they weren’t really as
bad as they have been made out to be…it was just that
they didn’t have a charming Cruise Director, Broadway
style shows and air-conditioned state rooms with nightly
turn-down service and a chocolate mint waiting on their
pillow.
After centuries of welcoming visitors ashore, as the capital of the United States Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie is
one of the premier cruise ship destinations in the Caribbean and hosts over 1.5 million passengers annually.
HISTORY
Aboard his impressive flagship “Marigalante” in November of 1493, on his second voyage to the “New World” Cristoforo Colombo and his fleet came upon
islands that he would name in honor of
the 11,000 beautiful virgins of St. Ursula,
“Islas de Santa Ursula y las Once Mil
Virgenes”. As it was throughout much
of the Caribbean, the Virgin Islands were
inhabited by the Carib and Arawak Indians. Over the next two centuries the
Indians would be virtually wiped out by
modern European weapons, ancient European disease and man’s timeless lust
for gold that condemned the easily subdued indigenous Caribbean tribes to a
life of forced labor.
It was in the late 1600s that the Danish West India Company took control
of largely uninhabited St. Thomas with
the idea of developing plantations. Convicts from Denmark were to be used as
labor…that failed miserably. Free Danish settlers soon arrived; those that survived the long sea voyage, only to witness the majority of their fellow settlers
quickly pass away in the following days,
weeks and months. In the 1670s it was
decided that the only alternative to working the plantations was the importation
of African slaves. The town that would
grow along the waterfront would soon
be named after Queen Charlotte Amalie,
NPN Caribbean Cruise Ports - St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
wife of Denmark’s King Christian V.
Sugar exports, pirates, freebooters, inter-island trade and a
growing slave market all helped Charlotte Amalie become a
thriving town with a bustling international port. While other islands carried on with their plantations, St. Thomas developed
as a commercial center. With the coming of steamships, by the
mid 1800s Charlotte Amalie had become an important coaling
station.
a half century earlier. The United States soon bought the Virgin
Islands for $25 million. That works out to approximately $300 an
acre. On March 31, 1917 the Stars and Stripes were raised over
Government House as the Virgin Islands became a U.S. Territory. The U.S. Navy governed the U.S.V.I. through 1937. With
all previous governors having been appointed by the President
of the United States, in 1971 the islands’ first elected governor
was voted into office by the people. Virgin Islanders have had
full U.S. citizenship since 1927 and have a non-voting Representative in Congress.

The Frederick Lutheran Church is a beautiful building that
was constructed in the late 1700s. It was built on the site of
two earlier churches, the first of which the Danish congregation
built in 1666. Both of the earlier churches were apparently wooden
structures that were lost to fire. The church is a popular site for
weddings and its congregation continues to hold worship services
after more than two centuries.

Fort Christian was built by the Danes beginning in 1666. On
a strategic point guarding the narrow harbor entrance the fort
©2009 maps.com
is the oldest building in St Thomas. The fort was built to defend
the harbor and town from potential attack by the French, Spanish
and English. It was also a place of refuge for white and free black
settlers during slave revolts and hurricanes. Today the fort is a museum that relates through photographs and artifacts, the history of
the Virgin Islands.
The Legislature Building is located on the waterfront overlooking the harbor. The building was constructed in the 1870s.
It was here, in 1917, that the official transfer ceremonies took place
between Denmark and the United States.
4
The Grand Hotel has seen better days however the 1839
structure is a wonderful example of the architecture of the period. The third story of the building was apparently lost to a hurricane in the late 1800’s. The building is now home to cafes and
shops.
5
The Hotel 1829 was originally built as a private residence for
a French sea captain in the year from which it takes its name.
With great views overlooking the harbor the home was renovated
into a hotel in the early 1900s. Many of the original features of the
home have been carefully preserved.

Blackbeard’s Castle is a hilltop lookout that was built by
Danish troops in 1679 to provide advance warning to Fort
Christian of the approach of hostile ships. How and when it was
named for the infamous pirate Edward Teach is still a matter of
speculation. Seeing that there is absolutely no evidence that the
infamous Blackbeard ever stepped foot on St. Thomas.The authentic (but not too catchy) name of the bastion is in fact “Skytsborg Tower”. None the less, as the oldest unaltered structure on
the island Skytsborg Tower is an interesting site and justifiably
listed on the US National Historic Registry.
7
The St. Thomas Skyride takes visitors by cable car up to
Paradise Point, 700 feet above the town and harbor. The view
is fantastic. Atop the point there are shops and a snack bar.
Beyond Charlotte Amalie
Magens Bay is consistently rated as one of the top ten beaches
in the world. It is located a short distance over the mountains from
Charlotte Amalie. The drive alone is worth the trip. There are all
the usual beach rentals available as well a beach-side snack bar
to grab a cool drink and something to eat. There is a small fee to
enter the beach but if you want a fun day in the sun on white sand
that meets the calm clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean…it is
well worth it.
Drake’s Seat is the mountainside location from which the renowned 1500s English vice-admiral, Sir Francis Drake, “reputedly” stationed lookouts whose orders were to raise the alert upon
spotting ships of the Spanish “Treasure Fleets”. Drake himself
never landed on St Thomas. The Spanish ships were loaded with
plundered gold, silver and precious jewels from the New World.
Needles to say, to Spain’s King Philip II, Sir Francis Drake was
little more than a pirate who was attempting to steal treasure
from Spain…treasure that the Spanish had just looted from others. England’s Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Francis Drake loved the
poetic justice of it all.

SHORE EXCURSIONS To make the most of your visit to Charlotte Amalie and surrounding areas we suggest you take one of
our organized Shore Excursions. For more information, please
consult your Shore Excursion Brochure or contact the Shore
Excursion Desk.
SHOPPING St. Thomas has been a duty-free port for centuries. The main shopping district is along the waterfront of Charlotte Amalie. The converted stone and wood warehouses are
hundreds of years old and make for one of the most interesting
shopping areas visitors will ever see.
The Havensight Mall has cafes, restaurants and over 100 stores
that offer the same duty-free shopping as found in downtown
Charlotte Amalie.
LOCAL CUSTOMS Bargaining: Prices are fixed in restaurants
and most stores. Bargaining at open-air markets is common.
Major credit cards are widely accepted.
Tipping: A 10-15 % tip is customary at restaurants.
Local Cuisine: The days of the pirate’s fare of hard tack, barely
edible salt pork and sour kraut (to ward off scurvy) are thankfully long past. Today Caribbean cooking is primarily a combination of European and West African. Curry has been a popular
addition since slavery was abolished and indentured workers
from India came to the region. While you are here in the Virgin
Islands you should try some of the favorite traditional dishes
that have been passed down for generations. Fish is understandably popular and always fresh. Bonito, yellowtail and
kingfish are common. They are usually grilled or boiled in a
lime based sauce with onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Fungi
are dumplings made from cornmeal. A fresh vegetable such as
okra (ochroe) is often added to the dough. Okra is very popular
throughout the islands. It is often fried in butter or with bacon
and then having tomatoes, garlic, peppers and onions added.
Seasoned Rice is prepared with most meals. Pork, onion, tomatoes and garlic are the usual additions. Conch Creole is a rich
stew made with local fresh conch, salt pork, garlic, onions and
hot peppers. Goat Curry is fresh goat meat that has marinated
in a mixture of lime juice, salt and pepper, thyme, garlic and
onions then cubed and slowly stewed with curry and sugar and
a few potatoes added. Meat Pate is a baked pastry filled with
a mixture of cooked beef or pork and sweet pepper, chopped
celery, parsley, tomato paste, garlic and onion.
Drink Specialties: Rum has been produced in the Virgin Islands for three centuries. The famous “Cruzan Rum” has
been distilled on the neighboring island of St Croix by
the same family since the 1750s. If you are not a
rum drinker and you decide to try a fresh fruit rum
punch…be warned…the rum is smooth and the
fruit will disguise the 75 proof alcohol.
LOCAL CURRENCY The US dollar is the official currency in the Virgin Islands. However,
pillaged or plundered Spanish pieces-of eight, silver bullion, doubloons, large saltwater pearls, jewel
encrusted solid gold necklaces or an authentic pirate’s

Page 4 of 8
TRANSPORTATION Taxis and mini buses travel to tourist
destinations throughout the island. Charlotte Amalie is easily
walked and the cruise docks are close to downtown.
LOCAL DIALECT English is the official language of the Virgin Islands. Linguists refer to any local dialect of English as
“pidgin” or “Creole” English and a wide variety of examples
can be found throughout the world. In the Caribbean the language developed with the importation of West African slaves.
Representing various tribes and regions of Africa that did not
speak the same language, “pidgin” came about as a way for
the slaves to be able to speak with each other as well as understand the European plantation supervisors and foremen.
