USVI-On-Line

We were going through some old photo albums and found a few shots from our first visit to the island in 1985....thought people might enjoy seeing them....many, many villas have sprung up in the hillsides of Coral Bay since then!

Loved this, thanks for posting them!
Any more?

I love seeing pics like this! Thanks for sharing.

Great pictures. We have pictures starting in 1983 but they are faded. Did your become so sharp and clear when you scanned them to the computer?

These are the only ones I have from 1985. They do look nice and sharp; they've been in a photo album with protective plastic sheets covering the pages since then, so that's most likely why they held up so well.

Your pictures are sweet! Thanks for sharing.

great pictures, thanks for sharing with us

If you haven't seen them, STJ Historical Society has some great photos of the island from years and years ago. http://www.stjohnhistoricalsociety.org/Photographs.htm
