Fort Frederick
















There are two Danish Forts on this island. The one on the western shore is Fort Frederick. It is in the city of Fredericksted, which is Danish for Ferderickville, which is french for Frederickburg, which is German for Ferderickpur, which is Hindi for Frederickbad, which is Urdu for Fredericktown, which is English for Fredericksted, which is the name of the City where the fort is located. I saw a copy of the check for a cool $25 mill that the USA used to purchase the Virgin Islands from the bloody Danes. When you visit, you can pretend to shoot boats from the Cannons, you know, if that's your thing...
