Blackbeard
Blackbeard the pirate was an Englishman from England. Around 1716, Edward joined the crew of Benjamin Hornigold, one of the most famous pirates of the time. Hornigold and his crew spied upon merchant ships throughout the Caribbean. Hornigold’s crew captured a French slave ship in November of 1717, and Teach was given command of the stolen vessel. Edward renamed the boat the Queen Anne's Revenge and set sail as the ship’s new pirate captain.Blackbeard earned a reputation as being a ruthless pirate. On the morning of November 22, 1718, Maynard attacked Blackbeard’s ship in the shallow inlet. Unfortunately for Maynard, Blackbeard and his crew were familiar with the inlet, and with strategic maneuvering, they caused Maynard’s ship to run aground on a shallow sandbar. Blackbeard and his crew quickly boarded Maynard’s ship, because all of the crew seemed dead. Unbeknownst to Blackbeard, Maynard had taken his surviving crew down below to the belly of the ship and waited patiently to ambush and surprise Blackbeard. Blackbeard and Maynard fought a while and after blackbeard got shot 5 times, Blackbeard fell dead and Maynard chopped his head off. That was the end of blackbeard...
