Lives Of The Saints On The Island Of St Helena

JAMESTOWN, SAINT HELENA - OCTOBER 23: Fisherman Wayne Yon continues renovation work on his boat "Tina" on October 23, 2017 in Jamestown, Saint Helena. The waters around the island contain yellow-fin, long-fin, big-eye, skipjack tuna and wahoo, with blue marlin often making appearances. Following the introduction of weekly flights to the island, resident St Helenians, known locally as "Saints", are preparing for a potential influx of tourists and investment as well as enjoying the possibilities brought by much faster transport links with South Africa. Previously, travel to the island involved travelling for a week by the Royal Mail Ship (RMS) "Saint Helena" from Cape Town. Saint Helena is a 46 square mile island in the South Atlantic which has been under British control since 1834. (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
