Map of Hassel Island, part of Virgin Islands National Park. The tall, roughly oval island is shaded green. Trails are represented with black dashed lines, and St. Thomas Harbor to the northeast and East Gregory Channel to the southwest are shown in blue.

Extended Description

On the coastline of the northern tip of the island are Creque Marine Railway and Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. Shipley’s Battery Trail begins near Creque Marine Railway and winds south to Shipley’s Battery, still in the top section of the island.

Careening Cove cuts into the island coast about halfway down the eastern side. Just below it, Shipley’s Battery Trail ends at a site labeled Hamburg American Line. Officers’ Quarters Trail branches off Shipley’s Battery Trail and continues south to Cowell’s Battery, near the southern tip. From there, Cowell’s Trail leads east to Prince Frederick’s Battery.

Legend

Text in the upper left corner of the map reads, “Hassel Island is south of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas Island (not shown on this map).” A scale in the lower left corner measures distances of 0.25 kilometers and 0.25 miles.
