Frederiksted

Frederiksted operates at a slower pace than Christiansted, except when cruise ships dock in Frederiksted's deepwater port. Visitor information is available at the entry to the pier. Fort Frederik houses art and cultural exhibits, including a police museum which details the history of the town; phone (340) 772-2021.

Of historical interest are the palatial ruins of Judith's Fancy, the former residence of the governor of the Knights of Malta. Set on an estate of several hundred acres, it has a view of the site where Christopher Columbus anchored at Salt River in 1493. Due to the greeting he received from the Carib Indians, Columbus named it the Cape of the Arrows.
