Notes
  • Significance: The factory at Estate Reef Bay affords one of the finest surviving examples of the sugar industry in the West Indies. Boiling coppers, used for processing cane-juice, remain in place in their masonry boiling bench, and traces remain of other steps in the sugar-making process. The Estate is also one of only two on St. John known to have converted to steam power for crushing sugar cane.
