Blackbeard's Castle (former Danish military tower)
Five acres known as "The Williamsburg of the Caribbean” - Several National Landmark Properties and historical manor houses dating as far back as the late 1600's.
His real name was Jack Ward and he was also known as Jack Birdy. He was born in the United Kingdom. He was on a run after he and his crew converted to Islam in the late 16th century. He fled to Tunisia where he obsessed with little birds during his time there and the locals would call him Jack Asfour, asfour is the opposite of sparrow in Arabic, and that’s the reason why he was called Jack Sparrow.
Captain Jack Birdy was known as a great drunkard, but he stopped drinking alcohol when he converted to Islam. He played a vital role in rescuing thousands of Spanish Jews and Muslims fleeing their expulsion from their lands in the 16th and 17th centuries.
