The towers rise seventy feet into the air. The sight of the towers of the St. John the Divine Cathedral is more meaningful for those approaching on boat – it is often the first structure your eye can make out as your ships pull into the harbor. But for years St. John"s cathedral was seen by the slaves as a imposing symbol of fear – the giant white strength of the English who called the island home.

The Cathedral is known by two names: St. Johns Cathedral and St. John the Devine’s Cathedral. The cathedral was closed for remodeling in January 2010.
