Location
The Territory of the British Virgin Islands ("BVI") comprises an archipelago of some 60 islands and cays, many of which are uninhabited. The islands are located 60 miles due east of Puerto Rico. The two main islands are Tortola, where the capital, Road Town, is situated and Virgin Gorda. The islands were named by Christopher Columbus in 1493, after St. Ursula and her 11,000 virgins.
