Town and Harbor of St. Thomas, Danish West Indies (Full Detail View)

A detailed harbor view of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, photographed during the Danish colonial period (before the 1917 U.S. purchase of the Danish West Indies). Sailing vessels ride at anchor before the town's terraced white buildings, a scene typical of the Caribbean port calls made by U.S. Navy warships, including the protected cruiser USS Columbia, in the early 1900s.
