Dear Travelers,
My journey still continues in this tiny island of Frederiksted, with a population of less than 1000, is St. Croix's main port. The landmark rust colored Fort Frederik, built in the 1750s to protect the town from marauding pirates, is said to have fired the first salute by a foreign nation in support of American independence in 1776. The fort was also the site of Governor General Peter von Scholten's emanicipation proclamation of 1848, which freed the slaves of the Danish West Indies.
Many of the shops and restaurants are found on Strand Street, adjacent to the harbor. The town retains a charming Victorian ambience, having been rebuilt after a fire destroyed most of the wooden structures in 1878.
See you there...
Rinell :-)
