I took the Blackbeard tour while I was stationed on Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. It was absolutely awesome!

Me too!

[@lymancopps5957]

I've lived in North Carolina a long time. Nearly every house in existence from Blackbeard's time in the coastal areas has some fantastical Blackbeard story, including secret passages, wives hung from trees, blah blah blah. Legend says Blackbeard's headless body was thrown in the water and swam around the boat 7 times before sinking into the depths. Descendants of Blackbeard's crew still live in Ocracoke. There is an entire street of Howards in Ocracoke Village, all related to Blackbeard's quartermaster William Howard. So in a way the golden age lives on.

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

Almost every house in Beaufort still flies Blackbeard's flag outside their door.

[@kevinfiess4494]

That's wild!

[@edwardteach4456]

[@Bakinowskiaaron]

I grew up in nags head NC I dated a Howard girl she was definitely a pirate. And I’ve never been to any houses that old like from the time of black beard but I used to love eating at the Jolly Roger restaurant in kill devil hills and apparently the woman on the Jolly Roger commercials was directly related to black beard and she owned it too. She was also very piratesk

[@geestreetz4478]

Nice history thanks … I am fascinated with these old stories

Hopefully the new anime will have more of teach

[@timurjack8773]

Actually the writer Eiichiro Oda is inspired from real life pirate Blackbeard and his treasure and he created the story of One Piece based on that. Oda's second favorite pirate crew after StrawHat pirates is Blackbeard pirates.

[@MysticChronicles712]

Blackbeard, my alter ego! I'm an actor and played him in the film Son of Blackbeard. It was my favorite role in all of my 25 years as a professional actor. I wish I could play him again. Teach was very misunderstood.

I love this channel so much

[@MA_KA_PA_TIE]

I wonder if in 100 or 200 years people romanticize al kaida like they romanticize the vikings or pirates who terrorized innocents of their time.

[@MrArthoz]

Yes they will. There is a cult of assassins during the times of Saladin that was later destroyed by the Mongols. They were fanatical killers that made modern day terrorist amateurs. They were very successful and feared that it took a full Mongol invasion to take out the chain of mountain strongholds. Today we have the Assassin's Creed franchise.

[@michaelbatarick9617]

Yeah, they'll probably romanticize about the liberal terrorists

[@josephmorley7965]

What is Romantic? It's something reminiscent of Rome (ancient Rome). What was ancient Rome? It was the pinnacle of human engineering and government as well as the world's super power with outposts in every far flung corner of the empire ready to stamp out revolt. Today, groups like Al Qaeda, Isis etc. are a direct response to today's superpower with over 800 military installations globally ready to crush any opposition and harass on the seas, on land, in the air and through the web. The United States of Gangsterism will likely be the bad guys people like to study in a couple hundred years as the decline of this empire has already begun.

[@matthewlobel2421]

The damage done by vikings or pirates is negligible compared to any sort of modern day military.

[@maikelvane5185]

In a brutal time where empires were conquering colonies and overseas countries. You are surprised that people try to be ‘free’ from this? As they had no choice then to serve most of the time in the navy.

I’ve kinda missed the part where they say Blackbeard mustered a pirate fleet. Besides that, great video ofcourse!

[@K8E666]

Bartholomew Roberts, the most successful pirate of the Golden Age was Welsh like myself. He wrote the earliest pirate code and flew an early version of the Jolly Roger. Wales has quite a few famous pirate captains because of the proximity of the sea.

[@pandasontheroad]

I don't understand why they don't shoot more movies or series about pirates. It is quite an interesting history full of adventures and naval battles. We need more content on that.

[@voycressv460]

A true legend.

[@lymancopps5957]

The Queen Anns Revenge was just another tall tail like many others you heard around Beaufort until the ship was actually found off the inlet in the 1990's. Markings on the Queen Anns Revenge wreckage measuring the depth of buoyancy was found to be in units used by the French at that time which confirmed it was once a French ship as it was a French slave ship in its previous life. Forensic evidence seemed to dispute accounts Blackbeard purposely scuttled his ship and abandoned his crew as the canons were found moved to the stern of the ship in an attempt to float the bow. Captured crew were a bitter and vengeful lot before they were hung in Williamsburg VA.

[@stephenbesley3177]

When did Americans ever NOT want to claim ownership of anything they had no part in? Bristol was a hotbed for pirates in the 18th century but yes, that doesn't in itself prove anything. However, there has to be a reason he named his ship Queen Anne's Revenge.

[@gayusschwulius8490]

Not that I disagree with your comment in principle, but the name could very well be explained by the fact that he had been employed by the English crown as a privateer when Anne was Queen. Remember, the colonies *were* part of Great Britain at the time and all of their citizens were subjects of the English crown.

[@michaelwillis4532]

He must’ve had the help of a the Freemasons or was a Freemason. Most of the knights Templars fled from France and became pirates and such with all the ships the Templars possessed. Freemasons pardoning Freemasons seems legit.
