The central and eastern districts of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.

The central and eastern districts of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. The photographer is looking east-south-east from a slightly elevated position above the west side of the town showing the Cooperative Building with its conspicuous tower on the left and the two tall lattice steel radio masts are almost hidden by the tree in the foreground. Next to the tree is a man sitting on a stone wall looking out across the harbour. In the distance berthed alongside a quay in Long Bay is the Swedish passenger cruise ship Kungsholm (1928), seen from off her port beam. Flag Hill is in the background.
