FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS PIRATES & PRIVATEERS USED THE ISLAND OF ST. THOMAS AS A SAFE HAVEN. THOMAS HAD BECOME RENOWNED AS A PIRATE SANCTUARY, WHERE CORRUPT DANISH COLONIAL GOVERNORS BOUGHT PLUNDERED GOODS WHILE OFFERING THEM SAFE HARBOR.

IN 1696, MANY FAMOUS AND NOTORIOUS PIRATES & PRIVATEERS LIVED OR OPERATED AROUND ST. THOMAS, INCLUDING SIR FRANCIS DRAKE, CAPTAIN KIDD, AND THE INFAMOUS BLACKBEARD EDWARD TEACH. THROUGHOUT THE AGE OF PIRACY, VESSELS TAKEN AS SPOILS WERE BROUGHT BACK TO THE HARBOR TO BE PLUNDERED & SCUTTLED. OVER THE CENTURIES, MANY HUNDREDS OF VESSELS HAVE BEEN SUNK BY BUCCANEERS, AROUND THE HARBOR AND SURROUNDING WATERS STILL WAITING TO YIELD THEIR TREASURES TO THIS DAY. NOTED TREASURE SALVOR, CHARLIE PEET, SPENT OVER A DECADE DIVING THE WATERS DISCOVERING COINS AND ARTIFACTS.
