Sint Eustatius, Caribbean island in Lesser Antilles, Caribbean Netherlands.
The 21-square-kilometer territory encompasses a dormant volcano called The Quill, rising 602 meters above sea level at its southern end.
During the 18th century, the island functioned as a primary trading center between European nations and American colonies through its free port status.
The Honen Dalim Synagogue ruins in Oranjestad stand as evidence of the influential Jewish merchant community that shaped the island's commercial development.
Travelers reach the island through F.D. Roosevelt Airport, with regular connections from Sint Maarten and other neighboring Caribbean destinations.
The island entered American history books when Fort Orange fired a ceremonial salute to the USS Andrew Doria in 1776, marking the first international recognition of American independence.
