The inn at Blackbeard's Castle offers Incredible views of the town and harbor in Charlotte Amalie.

The extensive grounds display a treasure trove of bronze pirate statues and other intriguing statuary.

A new statue has been unveiled in the Blackbeard's Castle gardens.
"Three Queens of St. Croix," a sculpture commissioned by the St. Thomas Historical Trust in partnership with Circa 1675 and Virgin Islands Inns, depicts Queen Mary, Queen Agnes and Queen Josiah - who on Oct. 1, 1878, led laborers in setting fire to half of Frederiksted on St. Croix in a successful demand for better wages and working conditions. Felipe Ayala, assistant Virgin Islands Inns curator noted that Josiah is also known as "Bottom Belly. " The sculpture, done by famed North Carolina-based Richard Hallier, depicts the women standing with arms raised, holding a machete, jug of oil and flambeaux as water from a fountain made out of the island's blue bit stone cascades over their backs."
