PHILIPSBURG
|
Philipsburg,
the capital of Dutch St. Maarten, fills a narrow stretch
of land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond.
Founded in 1763 by John Philips, a Scottish captain
in the Dutch navy, it soon became a bustling center
of international trade.
Today it is as bustling as ever, with lively shopping
streets, cafes, and hotels. |
