St. John plantation ruins interpreting enslavement and sugar production.

Annaberg Sugar Plantation is a plantation in Cruz Bay, U.S. Virgin Islands. St. John plantation ruins interpreting enslavement and sugar production. The archive files it under dark history, ruins and plantation. The dossier holds 2 documented facts — the record is history-forward, no paranormal claims on file. The site is open to visitors.

Annaberg is the 600's ground — the enslaved Africans who worked it, the windmill and the factory that are the ruins. The revolt was the context — the '33 Akwamu insurrection that took the fort, the island that burned for six months. The dungeon is the record — the cell in the sick house, the ship drawings on the walls by the imprisoned.
The whip was the punishment — the Venus who got 100 lashes, the chain she wore for two months. The escape was the break — the Joe Popp who got out of the dungeon, the resistance that was documented. Annaberg is the brutal — the plantation that kept the names, the ruins that are the NPS memorial.
The file keeps Annaberg: the 600 enslaved, the '33 revolt, the dungeon, and the ruins.
Annaberg is the archive's St. John file — the sugar works' record.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Annaberg is the archive's St. John file — the Danish slavery's monument.
A ruin keeps its prisoners — the file's suggestion being that Annaberg's hold is the documentation: the named enslaved, the dungeon with the ship drawings, and the revolt that was the context.

The record appears in 'Annaburg Sugar Plantation'. It is the kind of fact the rest of the dossier leans on.
