Don Van Dam - 

A photographer who caught some unique moments in time. What may we have seen from him if his life was not cut short by a tragic accident. 

Thank you Don

St. Thomas harbor in the early '70's

This photo showing a busy harbor back in 1973 was taken by Don Van Dam. Don was an upcoming photographer from St. Thomas whose life was cut short the following year.

The image shows 6 cruise ships in and just outside the harbor. The ships were much smaller back in those years,

but a 6 ship day was still very busy in 

The post card was published by Mrs. Marion Head, Norre Gade, St. Thomas

I never had the pleasure of meeting Don before his tragic departure but we seemed to be in a number of places at the same time. 

Also want to thank 

Reniet Ramirez Rivera 

for  keeping

Mar y Sol Festival

alive with his website and Facebook pages.

Don Van Dam was there!! 

I recently was reviewing the Mar y Sol Facebook page
