| dbo:abstract | Salt Island ist eine Insel der Britischen Jungferninseln, die ungefähr acht Kilometer südöstlich der Hauptinsel Tortola liegt. Sie wurde nach den dort vorhandenen Salzbecken benannt und hat eine Fläche von 77 ha (189 ac). (de) La Isla Salt (en español antiguamente Isla de la Sal y en inglés: Salt island) es una de las islas del archipiélago de las Islas Vírgenes Británicas, ubicada alrededor de 4,7 millas al sureste (151 grados verdaderos) de Road Town, la ciudad principal de la isla de Tórtola. Lleva ese nombre por los estanques de sal, que fueron una vez un importante recurso. La Isla de la Sal es más notable por el naufragio del vapor de correos RMS Rhone que se hundió durante un huracán el 29 de octubre de 1867 después de que fue rechazado en la Isla de Sal al intentar dirigirse a la seguridad en el mar. (es) Salt Island is one of the islands of the archipelago of the British Virgin Islands located about 4.7 miles south east (151 degrees true) of Road Town, the main town on Tortola. It is named after its salt ponds, which were once an important resource. Salt Island is most notable for the wreck of the Royal Mail packet steamer, RMS Rhone which sank in a hurricane on 29 October 1867 after she was driven back on Salt Island while attempting to head to safety at sea. Most of the ship's crew were lost. Many of the bodies were buried in a mass grave on Salt Island which is a short walk from the main beach and can be easily seen today. A wide circle of stones is laid upon the grave. The wreck of the Rhone is one of the best scuba diving sites in the Caribbean. Some of the underwater scenes in film The Deep were filmed in and around the wreck. The population of the island hasn't been more than three people since at least 1980. They pay an annual rent to the Queen of the United Kingdom, delivered to the Governor, of a one-pound bag of salt. The island is often visited by yachts and gets an occasional smaller cruise ship. Where before there were twenty or more households there are now only three or four derelict houses. (en) Salt Island is een eiland behorend tot de Britse Maagdeneilanden, een Britse Kroonkolonie. Salt Island ligt ten zuidoosten van Tortola, waar de hoofdplaats Road Town zich bevindt. Salt Island is vernoemd naar de zoutpannen die eens een voorname inkomstenbron waren. Op 29 oktober 1867 zonk de stoomboot de RMS Rhone in een orkaan bij Salt Island, en is nu een snorkelplek. In 2008 verliet de laatste inwoner het eiland. (nl) Salt Island (engelska Salt Island) är en ö i ögruppen Brittiska Jungfruöarna i Västindien som tillhör Storbritannien. (sv) |
