St. Croix’s Caledonia waterfall in the 1900s, which would be how naturalist Harry A. Beatty saw it as a boy. This was a perennially flowing stream from the mountainous section of the northwest of St. Croix until the latter part of the 1970s. In the 20th century, Beatty, George A. Seaman, Axel Lambert, Richard Bond, and Anton Teytaud were known as naturalists and scientists. They swam and fished in the islands’ streams, swam in the sea, and identified plants species, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, etc. (Photo courtesy Angela Kim)
