Harbor of St. Thomas' Capital, St. Thomas (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Seuss. said:
    The ship on the left is (I believe) the Hamburg America Line's SS Viktoria Luise. Built as the SS Deutschland for the North Atlantic run in 1900, she held -for a time- the Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic Crossing. She was renamed/rebuilt in 1911 and converted to one of the earliest and finest Cruise Ships, where speed was not so important. I would date this photo 1911-1914 see also

    This photo (in a cropped version) is depicted in The Sun and New York press., July 30, 1916, SECTION 5 SPECIAL FEATURE SUPPLEMENT, Image 49 with article "DANISH ISLES FOR UNCLE SAM" (chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030430/1916-07-30/ed-...). The United States purchased St. Thomas (along with Saint John and Saint Croix) in 1917 for $25 million in gold, as part of a defensive strategy to maintain control over the Caribbean and the Panama Canal during the First World War. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Thomas,_U.S._Virgin_Islands

    The Sun used 6 of the 9 bain photos. This one's caption: "The landlocked basin - where big ships find safe harbor."
  • Art Siegel said:
    Seuss. good catch, I think this has to be the Victoria Louise, before she returned to Germany in 1914 for the duration of the war. She was definitely in St. Thomas as late as March, 1914: flic.kr/p/7zqt1q

    With a name like that I presume it was actually called Hansa Stadt Bremen, rather than Hansa. I'll see if there's anything in the german archives. Edit: No - apparently there's lots of Hansas

    derangedlemur Excellent, thanks a million! What's b c e f?
  • derangedlemur said:
    I'm not finding anything under Havarie and all the Wracks are other boats.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons No idea. It's off a list of wrecks from a diving site.
