The Caribbean island of Saint Thomas has a rich past involving colonization and slavery.
The first Europeans to arrive here were the Dutch in 1657, followed by the Danish and English. Evidence of its previous inhabitants can be seen in the architecture of the buildings on the island, which feature a mixture of European styles.
It was also the site of a slave market in 1673, which visitors can learn more about at one of the museums on the island.
Today, Saint Thomas is a popular tourist destination that is renowned for its natural scenery, turquoise waters, and lush forests.
It’s also a popular port-of-call for cruise ships, where visitors can disembark and take a tour of the island.
