U.S. #802 shows Charlotte Amalie Harbor in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Issued five years after all residents of the territory were granted U.S. citizenship, this stamp pictures the city of Charlotte Amalie. The port city is on the island of St. Thomas, and both the harbor and city are displayed on the stamp.

Named after Denmark’s Queen-Consort Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel, the city was a key port during the colonization of the Caribbean islands. At times it was a haven for pirates, a coal-refueling station for steamships, and a slave-trading center. Now, the port is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean Sea, attracting more than 1.5 million visitors each year.
