A BRIEF VISIT TO THE VIRGIN ISLANDS & ST. THOMAS 1930s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE 53354
“A Brief Visit to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands” is the first part of a short 1930s film, In the Wake of the Buccaneers, produced by the Division of Motion Pictures for the U.S. Department of Interior. “A Brief Visit” highlights St. Thomas, promoting tourism for the U.S. Virgin Islands, which the U.S. purchased from Denmark in 1916. The film begins with a luxury steam liner arriving at St. Thomas (00:17), where people take a small boat to the island’s capital and largest city, Charlotte Amalie. In Charlotte Amalie, tourists can ride a donkey (01:07) and visit Emancipation Park (01:21)—or Emancipation Gardens — where the proclamation freeing the slaves was supposedly read in 1848. Other highlights of the capital city include Lower Town (01:30), the old drainage system (02:11), the market (02:26) where locals buy and sell produce and other goods, and the Cooperative (03:10). Local women show off woven hats and bags, including the chapo hat (03:28). Other attractions include the beaches of St. Thomas and Lindbergh Bay (04:03). While tourists enjoy the sights of St. Thomas, locals restock the ships’ supplies (04:53), including baskets of coal needed to power the steam ships. North of Charlotte Amalie is The Drake Seat (06:01), which commemorates Sir. Francis Drake and overlooks the scenic Magens Bay. Back in Charlotte Amalie is Bluebeard’s Castle Hotel (06:38), overlooking the harbor. Here, tourists enjoy the hotel and its gardens (07:20), as well as sitting on the veranda and sipping on a freshly prepared Swizzle (07:50), the region’s famous cocktail. The film concludes with a steam liner departing St. Thomas, the “Gem of the Caribbean” (08:43).

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, USVI - Dancing on the Party Boat HD (2015)
Charlotte Amalie, located on St. Thomas, is the capital and largest city of the U.S. Virgin Islands, founded in 1666 as Taphus (meaning beer houses or beer halls). In 1691, the town was renamed to Amalienborg (in English Charlotte Amalie) after Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel (1650–1714), queen consort to King Christian V of Denmark. It contains a deep-water harbor that was once a haven for pirates and is now one of the busiest port of call for cruise ships in the Caribbean, with about 1.5 million cruise ship passengers landing there in 2004. Protected by Hassel Island, the harbor has docking and fueling facilities, machine shops, and shipyards and was a U.S. submarine base until 1966. The town has been inhabited for centuries. When Christopher Columbus came here in 1493, the area was inhabited by both Island Caribs and Taíno. It is located on the southern shore at the head of Saint Thomas Harbor. In 2010 the city had a population of 18,481, which makes it the largest city in the Virgin Islands Archipelago. Hundreds of ferries and yachts pass through town each week, and at times the population more than doubles.
The city is known for its Danish colonial architecture, building structure and history, and a dozen streets and places throughout the city have Danish names. Charlotte Amalie has buildings of historical importance including St. Thomas Synagogue, the second-oldest synagogue in the Western Hemisphere, and the oldest Lutheran church in the Western Hemisphere, the Frederick Lutheran Church. The town has a long history of pirates, especially stories of Bluebeard and Blackbeard (Edward Teach). In the 17th-century, the Danes built both Blackbeard's Castle and Bluebeard's Castle attributed to the pirates. Blackbeard's Castle is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. Another tourist attraction is Fort Christian, the oldest standing structure in the Virgin Islands Archipelago. A copy of the Liberty Bell is located in Emancipation Park, which is a tourist attraction.

Best Place to Buy a Timepiece (Watch) in the Caribbean
Timepieces for Tomorrow -
If you're a watch enthusiast or or are just planning to purchase your first Swiss made watch, the Caribbean is an excellent place to do so! Because of the duty-free shopping (AKA no sales tax), there are an abundance of great deals. I'm a watch collector and this video contains my opinions and advice for making that purchase. I've traveled all over the Caribbean and Mexico and Charlotte Amalie in St. Thomas is most definitely the best place to buy a Swiss timepiece in my opinion! There are Breitling and Cartier stores as well as an abundance of authorized dealers that carry Omega, Breitling, Cartier, Rolex and brands of higher and lower end. I had a great experience doing business with Little Switzerland. It's located right alongside the waterfront in Charlotte Amalie (right next to the building that says Rolex). I strongly recommend doing a Google search to obtain the current year price sheet for the watch brand(s) of your choice. This way you'll have a good idea of what the watch is currently selling for in the United States and will know whether or not which watch(es) in the authorized dealer are the best bargain. Be sure to deal with authorized dealers only and be sure to obtain the box and all papers with the watch. Otherwise, the manufacturer will likely not service your watch, if you ever have to send it in for maintenance, repair, etc. Everyone has different tastes but I will say that the Omega and Breitling watches were the best deals in Charlotte Amalie. I hope that you enjoy this video and I welcome any questions that you might have.

Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas - One-Bedroom Oceanfront Club Suite Tour
Filmed 10 days before Hurricane Irma caused extensive damage to St. Thomas and the Ritz-Carlton. WOW! Incredible views from this oceanfront club suite at the five-star Ritz-Carlton hotel on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands! In general, we really enjoyed our stay here, but we're not sure we'd come back to this hotel. The rooms have been updated, but the facilities feel dated. The service that the Ritz-Carlton brand is famous for is also a little hit or miss. And given the extraordinarily high price point, you could reasonably expect more than you get! But, we still had an incredible time. If you do come for a visit, hire a boat for the day from the on-site boat rental company, Nauti Nymph—it was the highlight of our trip (and videos to come, so check back soon!). We are wishing the Ritz-Carlton a speedy recovery after Hurricane Irma!

America's Forgotten Paradise: US Virgin Islands concerned over climate change
As the US Virgin Islands continue their long recovery from the devastation caused by the 2017 hurricanes, there's increasing concern about the possible impact of climate change. Experts fear that global warming is not only increasing the intensity of hurricanes in the region but is also having an adverse affect on the islands' marine life. In the second of our special reports, our North America Correspondent Jon Brain looks at the US Virgin Islands' climate challenge.

St. Croix, the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, is a tropical dreamland complete with stunning beaches, clear aqua-blue ocean water, a small rain forest and rolling green hillsides. The Danes purchased St. Croix in the 1700s at which time the slave trade and sugar cane fields thrived. Today, the Danish influence is still apparent in the island's architecture and language. Most of the sugar mills lie in ruins. Yet you can still get a taste of the island's history in freshly squeezed sugar cane juice or Cruzan Rum.
