Monument to the Fireburn
Three Queens Statue的点评
点评：The Three Queens monument is located just below Blackbeard's castle. This area is easiest reached by walking north of Emancipation Park, turning right on Kongens Gade, then hiking up the 99 steps. On reaching the top of the steps, just stroll to the right and a cut stone wall will come into view. The steps to the right of the wall, with metal railings, lead to the Three Queens monument, which is the centerpiece of a small garden surrounded by hedges. This tribute was installed in 2005.
The sculpture depicts Mary Thomas, Axeline Salomon, and Mathilda McBean, who were all recognized as leaders of the 1878 Fireburn Labour riot on St. Croix. Each lady holds an item(s) related to the riot. The south facing lady has a machete and a flambeau. Both items are symbols of freedom and struggle. The lady facing east has a flambeau and the north facing lady has a kerosene oil lantern. The lantern was made famous by Harriet Tubman on the Underground Railroad in the USA, and is also known as a symbol of hope and freedom.
Slavery in the Danish West Indies was officially ended by an emancipation proclamation on 3 July 1848. For thirty years after emancipation, not much changed for the newly freed slaves, as they were "economically" depressed, by the plantation owners who paid ridiculously low wages and maintained poor working conditions. On 1 October 1878, the Three Queens were said to have organized a riot which led to buildings and plantations being burned. More than 70 rioters and 2 Danish soldiers were killed. There were many arrests after the revolt, which resulted in 12 rioters being hanged. A group of 34 rioters who were arrested included the Three Queens, and they were sent to Copenhagen, and jailed for 5 years. They returned to St Croix in 1887 and completed their sentences. It took many years for the former slaves to financially benefit from their freedom, but the Fireburn Riot is recognized as the event that marked the start of the change for better treatment of workers.
Other nearby attractions include the 99 steps, Emancipation Park and Fort Christian.

翻译：三皇后纪念碑位于黑胡子城堡下方。最容易到达该区域的方法是，步行到解放公园 (Emancipation Park) 以北，在 Kongens Gade 右转，然后爬上 99 级台阶。到达台阶顶部后，向右漫步，一堵切割的石墙就会映入眼帘。墙右侧的台阶带有金属栏杆，通向三皇后纪念碑，这是一个被树篱包围的小花园的中心。此致敬品于 2005 年安装。
该雕塑描绘了玛丽·托马斯 (Mary Thomas)、阿克斯琳·所罗门 (Axeline Salomon) 和玛蒂尔达·麦克比恩 (Mathilda McBean)，她们都被认为是 1878 年圣克罗伊岛 Fireburn 工党骚乱的领导人。每位女士都持有与骚乱有关的物品。朝南的女士有一把砍刀和一把火炬。这两个项目都是自由和斗争的象征。朝东的女士有一盏火炬，朝北的女士有一盏煤油灯。灯笼因美国地下铁路上的哈里特·塔布曼而闻名，也被誉为希望和自由的象征。
1848 年 7 月 3 日，丹麦西印度群岛的奴隶制因一项解放宣言而正式结束。解放后的三十年里，新解放的奴隶并没有发生太大变化，因为种植园主支付的工资低得离谱，他们在“经济上”陷入困境。并维持恶劣的工作条件。 1878 年 10 月 1 日，据说三女王组织了一场骚乱，导致建筑物和种植园被烧毁。 70多名骚乱者和2名丹麦士兵被打死。叛乱发生后，许多人被捕，导致 12 名骚乱者被绞死。被捕的34名暴徒包括三女王，他们被送往哥本哈根，被判入狱5年。 1887 年，他们返回圣克罗伊并服完刑期。这些前奴隶花了很多年才从自由中获得经济利益，但大火骚乱被认为是标志着改善工人待遇的变革开始的事件。
附近的其他景点包括 99 级台阶、解放公园和克里斯蒂安堡。
