Concierge.com: British Virgin Islands: Same Only Different are also attributable to the history of the made four voyages through the region between 1492 BUY THE BOOK Fodor s US british virgin islands, 16th edition http://www.concierge.com/destination/britishvirginislands/features/Editorial/Fea
Extractions: Same Only Different If you have seen one Caribbean island you have by no means seen them all. The Caribbean has towering volcanic islands, such as Saba; islands with lush rain forests, such as Dominica, St. Lucia, Martinique, and Guadeloupe; and some islands, notably Puerto Rico, that have both jungles and arid climes. You'll find glittering discos, casinos, and dazzling nightlife on such islands as Aruba and Puerto Rico, and in the Dominican Republic, which occupies the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola. There are also isolated cays with only sand, sea, sun, lizards, and mosquitoes. Some islands Puerto Rico and St. Kitts among them have ancient forts to view; others (Barbados and the Caicos Islands) have caverns and caves to explore. There are also places like Grand Turk and Little Cayman, where the only notable sights are beneath the translucent sea. Different though they are in many ways, the islands are stylistically similar. The style setter is the tropical climate. Year-round summertime temperatures and a plethora of beaches produce a pace known as "island time." Only the trade winds move swiftly. Operating on island time means "I'll get to it when the spirit moves me."
History Of Peter Island history floats through the virgin islands like an Once Spain claimed the region, outlaw privateers hundreds of sunken ships litter the british virgin islands. http://www.peterisland.com/history.htm
Extractions: The History of Peter Island Rich in Natural Beauty and Folklore History floats through the Virgin Islands like an old ship, anchoring long enough at Peter Island to unload a rich heritage of pirates, plantations, and a private island hideaway. Christopher Columbus discovered the Virgins on his second voyage to the New World in 1493. As he sailed through Sir Francis Drake Channel, Columbus named the enchanting and untouched chain of islands after St. Ursula's 11,000 followers, who chose death in fourth-century Cologne rather than submit to the marauding Huns. Click for Pirate Music Once Spain claimed the region, outlaw privateers routinely attacked her ships, homeward bound with riches from the New World. The hilly Virgin Islands, with countless nooks and bays, proved ideal hiding grounds for buccaneers like Henry Morgan, Sir John Hawkins, and Sir Francis Drake, whose name claims the channel between Peter Island and Tortola. Dead Chest Island, the visual focal point of Peter Island's Deadman's Bay, is the storied site where Blackbeard marooned 15 mutinous men with only a sword and cask of rum spawning the musical memoir "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum." The bay is named for the unlucky souls who washed up on its shores. Nearby Norman Island is thought to be Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," and scavengers still scour its caves for buried treasure. In the late 17th century, pirates gave way to planters when a group of slave traders from Brandenburg, a small German state containing Berlin, first settled Peter Island after plans to build a plantation on St. Thomas failed. Initially, the Brandenburgers intended to build a warehouse and start a large settlement. They built forts around the island to protect it from the Danes, who controlled St. Thomas and other Caribbean islands.
