One of the great Virgin Islands maps, Gerard van Keulen's splendidly detailed and highly decorative sea chart of St. Thomas includes two large inset charts on the right: the upper one is of St. Thomas's main harbor and the Virgin Islands capital, Charlotte Amalie; the lower chart is of neighboring St. John's Cruz Bay. Along the bottom of the chart are coastal profiles; the cartouche and coats of arms above the mileage scale dedicates the chart to Erik Bredal, governor of the Danish West India Company.
