Captain Edward Teach commonly referred to as
“Blackbeard”, was born in 1680. He was a notorious
English pirate and one of the most remembered pirates in history.
He mostly sailed in the Caribbean Seas and Western Atlantic Ocean,
around the 18th century, which is also called the ‘Golden Age
of Piracy’. His famous ship was called “Queen
Anne’s Revenge” and historians believe that it went
aground in 1718 near North Carolina in a place called
‘Beaufort Inlet’.
In appearance, he was most notable and terrifying because of the
long black beard which covered almost his whole face. For
amusement, he used to separate it into the tails, each one tied
with a differently colored ribbon. Speaking of his image, Teach was
always wearing a sling with three pairs of pistols strung across
his breast in addition of cutlass and few knives in his belt. An
opposing crew often surrendered only by a sight of this seafaring
pirate, although some rumors goes that he was very generous with
the people who cooperated with him.
