Blackbeard

Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach, had been a


sailor on British ships in the Caribbean during Queen Anne's
War (1702-1713). These ships were often involved in attacks
on French and Spanish ships in the region and were allowed
to keep a percentage of whatever they captured from these
enemies of the queen.

Blackbeard

All this changed when in 1713 the European powers declared


peace and the war ended. Teach and hundred of other sailors had
to choose between returning to unemployment in Britain or
continuing to do what they knew best, only as pirates. They
started as small bands in small boats, attacking and robbing
merchant ships, and eventually took control of larger ships which
had the speed and power to dominate the route trades in and
near the Caribbean.

Blackbeard

Blackbeard soon learned that a fearsome reputation, a pirate flag


and some warning shots from his cannons were all that he
needed to stop most ships without a fight. In contemporary
accounts, Blackbeard is described as a “demon from hell”,
whose huge black beard was twisted into long tails and who
carried several guns and swords in belts slung over his
shoulders. Sticking out from the sides of his cap were long
smouldering fuses that he could use them to ignite his cannons
during an attack.

Blackbeard's reign of terror lasted 1718 when he was killed in a


sea battle with two British ships which had been sent to put an
end to piracy in the region. After his death, Blackbeard became a
romantic figure and stories about his daring adventures and tales
of secret buried treasure helped to create the popular image of
pirates that we still have today.
