The small Dutch island of Sint Eustatius (Statia) was in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries a flourishing Caribbean commercial crossroads, nicknamed the 'Golden Rock,' which attracted Sephardic merchants. They founded a congregation there and built a synagogue, whose ruins (Honen Dalim) still bear witness to this presence. The island's prosperity rested on re-export trade, in which Jewish merchants participated actively. With the commercial decline of Sint Eustatius, following in particular the upheavals of the late eighteenth century, the community dwindled and then disappeared in the nineteenth century.
