This marked the beginning of a constant flow of ships, initially for the delivery of weapons and later as a transit port and resting place. The capital, Oranjestad, prominently depicted here, was divided into an upper and a lower town, becoming a profitable and bustling free port of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dutch_West_India_Company\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dutch West India Company<\/a> where the most luxurious goods were traded and stored tax-free, a highly lucrative byudiness from which it gained its name &#8216;The Golden Rock.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>As the 18th century drew to a close, Sint Eustatius gradually lost its significance as a trading center, leading most merchants and plantation owners to leave their homes and warehouses.
