Frenchtown is to the southwest of Charlotte Amalie.
The pirates who immigrated to Frenchtown came from the French Caribbean island of St.Barthelemy. St.Barthelemy (St.Barts) was first settled by the French in 1648 it was not suitable for plantations, so it served mainly as a base for French pirates preying on Spanish galleons. Even today, many of the older people in Frenchtown still speak Creole.
Meg:
Thanks for the sunshine in the photos
Its grey and bleak up north
in less than 1 week, I will be in the sun, too.
The one night we stayed in Charlotte Amelie, (because of an early plane the next morning)
it was on the western side of the town, up on a hill (?Blackbeards hill)
We walked the port, and its dazzling array of shops.
