Within the rogue’s gallery of 16th Century pirates, there were few as feared
as Blackbeard. Born as Edward Teach in 1680 Bristol, England, he trolled the
West Indies and the east coast of Britain’s North American colonies in search of
ill-gotten booty.
Upon sight of his ominous sailing ship, “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” most merchant
ships, as well as would-be opponents, would reverse course and retreat lest they
become engaged in vicious confrontation with the bloodthirsty sea bandit.
Besides his full and flowing beard from which he coined his imposing sailing
name, Blackbeard was also known for his coveted buried treasure, that which
has yet to be found, even to this day.
