Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands

What does Road Town, Tortola, have in common with Hampton Roads, Virginia? Their names. Both are roadsteads, deep-water places along the coast that are less sheltered than harbors. Hampton Roads has turned its roadstead into the world's largest naval base, and Road Town has evolved into one of the sailing capitals of the Caribbean. [2014]
