St Helena was amazing. When we were there, 2011, there was no airport and no proper harbour. Those lines hanging down from the frame are what you had to grab hold of to get ashore in anything other than dead calm conditions!

Since then they've built what is often described as the world's most useless airport. Not planned properly and the most common approach direction suffers from severe wind shear regularly which results in flights being cancelled for days at a time.
