BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE #sailing #pirates #legend

Another one just for fun 😁 The story of Blackbeard the pirate is extremely interesting. Blackbeard, born Edward Teach (or Thatch), became the most notorious pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy in the early 18th century. Likely starting as a privateer during Queen Anne's War, he turned to piracy around 1716 in the Caribbean. ✅ The Life and Legacy of History's Most Famous Pirate ➡️ https://amzn.to/3JGdCjQ ✅ Blackbeard: The Birth of America ➡️ https://amzn.to/4nHVowr Under the command of Captain Benjamin Hornigold, Teach quickly rose through the ranks, eventually taking his own ship and renaming a captured French vessel the formidable Queen Anne's Revenge. Blackbeard cultivated a terrifying image—a thick black beard, often tied with ribbons, and lit, smoking fuses tucked under his hat and in his beard during battle—to strike fear into his victims and encourage surrender without bloodshed. His short but impactful career saw him terrorize the American coasts and the Caribbean, most famously blockading Charleston, South Carolina, for ransom. Blackbeard's reign ended dramatically on November 22, 1718, in a fierce hand-to-hand battle against British naval forces led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard at Ocracoke Inlet, North Carolina, where he was finally killed. ✅ The Life and Legacy of History's Most Famous Pirate ➡️ https://amzn.to/3JGdCjQ ✅ Blackbeard: The Birth of America ➡️ https://amzn.to/4nHVowr If you love the sailing life, please SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, and COMMENT as it really helps the channel and we love to hear from you😁😁 *Thank You to all of you who support us in your different ways* ❤️ ✅ *INSTAGRAM* https://www.instagram.com/sailingnovavita/ ✅ *FACEBOOK* https://www.facebook.com/SailingNovaVita #sailing #yachting #boatlife #adventure As an Amazon affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases.
