Water Island is located in
St. Thomas's Charlotte Amalie
harbor, this quiet island is now part of Virgin Island's
territory. Ownership of 50 of this island's acres was transfered
from the U.S. Department of the Interior to the territorial
government on December 12, 1996, making Water Island the fourth
largest Virgin Island. A hotel is planned as are concessions
on Honeymoon Beach. Back in the 1940s, Water Island was the
site of the U.S. Army's Fort Segarra. There was a hotel here
from the 1960s until 1982.
