History
For over 400 years Jost has been an oasis for seafarers and adventurers. A Dutch pirate
(the island's namesake) used the island as a base in the 17th century. In the 18th century it
became a homestead for Quakers escaping religious tyranny in England. Quaker surnames,
such as Lettsome and Callwood, survive among the islanders, mostly descendents of freed
Quaker slaves.
Once Foxy Callwood built his bar in the late 1960s, the tide ebbed and flowed for a
quarter century and not much changed. Electricity arrived in 1991 and roads were cut a few
years later.
