Jumbo, the African elephant was the star of the Barnum and Bailey circus and P.T. Barnum's greatest coup. He is reputed to be the largest elephant ever in captivity and is probably the best known non-human that ever lived.

On his second visit to St. Thomas, on September 15, 1885, Jumbo had a fatal collision with a Grand Trunk locomotive . To commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of this fateful event, the St. Thomas Jumbo Foundation unveiled a monument on June 29, 1985.
