Do you know Blackbeard Pirate
- last month
Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach, was a notorious English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of the American colonies during the early 18th century. Known for his fearsome appearance, often accentuated by slow-burning fuses in his beard during battle, Blackbeard commanded a large and powerful ship called the Queen Anne's Revenge. He was both a shrewd and ruthless leader, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. His reign of terror was cut short in 1718 when he was killed in a fierce battle with British naval forces off the coast of North Carolina.
