FINE HARBOR IS
SITUATED At
ST. THOMAS

New that the United States is about
to buy the Danish West Indies, an
article, appearing In the Pacific Mar
inc Review, concerning the harbor IA
cilities OF st. Thomas, the principal
port of call In the islands, is of par
ticular interest. The author says:
The island of st. Thomas, of which
st. Thomas is the principal port, has
been in the possession of the Danish
government since 1911 and is by ma
tpre endowed with the largest, safest
and easiest accessible harbor In the
West Indies, with ample deptL for
even the largest vessels.
In. the days Of sailing ships, st.
Thomas was natural center OF the
shipping trade not only in the West
Indies but also in a great measure be-
tween North and South America. As
sailing ships began to be replaced by
steamers. wharves we're built and coal
ing depots established, and since the
time of steamers all nationalities have
called at st. Thomas in eyer-increas.
ing numbers.
est Thomas is situated about mid,
way between the principal European
and West American ports. The dis
lance, for instance, from st. Thomas
via the canal to San Francisco Is 1880
miles, to Valparaiso $500, while the
distance from London to the island is
1900 miles and from Genoa 4145.
I'm 1912 the West Indian Company,
Ltd, was founded with the main OBJ
iect of placing the harbor at st, Thorn
as, by means OF modern harbor facili-
ties, on a prominent scale, In posi-
ton to meet the increasing traffic OF
the future in every respect.
The first section Of the new harbor
works was started in the spring of
1913 and completed IN July, 1915, at
a cost of approximately s2.O00,000.
I'm Longbay, at the entrance of the
harbor, the depth of the water has
been increased to 81 feet and on the
southern side of Longbay a wharf has
n built 5000 feet In length, where
vessels drawing up to 81 feet may
dock.
ION the large premises adjacent to,
the wharf coal yard. godowns and
oil tanks have been erected. There
will always be large amount Of Eng
lish and American coal on hand and
the capacity Of the oil tanks is close.
to $4,000 tons. Filtered water Is also,
delivered on board the boats.
"The entrance of the harbor of st.
Thomas is provided with strong lights
and excellent bnoys, enabling vessels
to enter and, leave port without pilot
