St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands)
This is one of the most beautiful regions in the world. Charlotte Amalie is the capital and major passenger port of the island of St. Thomas, which together with St. Croix and St. John form the principal islands of the United States Virgin Islands. St. Thomas lies at the crossroads between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The islands that form this archipelago were at the centre of volatile economic and political negotiations concerning numerous trade routes. The Portuguese first used them as their base for trade with the New World. In the tattered pages of his ship's log, Christopher Columbus described these islands as being particularly beautiful. They were virgin, unexplored and mysterious lands.
