A staircase `street` built by the Danes in the 1700s leads up
to the residential area above Charlotte Amalie and Blackbeard's
Castle Hotel. The castle's tower, built in 1679, was once used by
the notorious pirate Edward Teach. Today, this lookout is at
the center of a small hotel. If you count the stairs as you
go up, you'll discover, as have thousands before you, there
are more than 99!
