A Fully Rigged Rendition of Blackbeard's Flagship the "Queen Anne's Revenge"
A Little More Blackbeard History Blackbeard was one of the most notorious pirates in history. In the early 1700's - a time better known as the Golden Age of Piracy, he and his crew plundered numerous ships off the coast of North American and throughout Caribbean. Despite this legendary reputation, very little is known about the early life of Blackbeard including his true name. But many believe it to be Edward Teach, a man who reportedly had served as a privateer in Queen Anne's War during the years 1701 to 1714 and turned to piracy shortly after the war's end. In late fall of 1717 off the island of Martinique in the eastern Caribbean, Blackbeard and his brethren of pirates captured a ship named La Concorde, a French vessel that he elected to keep as his flagship and renamed her the "Queen Anne's Revenge". Ultimately, Blackbeard met his demise in late 1718 when he was shot, stabbed and finally beheaded. His severed head was then hung from a ship's bowsprit as a trophy. It has been said that his headless body began to swim circles around the ship in a final act of defiance! |
