This post is for the #seaphotography contest week #89. The theme this weeks is Sea and Boats.
This shot was taken by the docs on a small island named St. Thomas, part of the US Virgin Islands. The dock is very small, but it has so much activity. As you can see, there is a large cruise ship, a bunch of private yachts and a ‘pirate’ tour boat! The red rooftop building in the background is a restaurant (on the water). So yeah... pretty crowded area.
St. Thomas is a main cruise destination and a duty free shopping island. Sometimes 5 ships stop by at the same time. They are 2 docks available, so they can accommodate more ships, if necessary.
Hopefully everything will flourish after the corona virus pandemic, as the population there depends on tourism. Although very small, like 15 miles long, the island has 50,000 people living there. 👨👩👦👦
