Does anyone have any old pictures of St. John ('80s or earlier) that they would like to post and share? I'm just interested to see how the island has changed over the years.

I am sorry the second link does not work that I posted above - below are the details:

The Library of Congress (on line)

has some wonderful photos of the US Virgin Islands. If you do a search for "Cruz Bay St John, USVI"
