Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard, is killed off North Carolinaâs Outer Banks during a bloody battle with a British navy force sent from Virginia.
IT WAS A REIGN OF FEAR that lasted two long years. Blackbeard and his crew of pirates terrorized sailors on the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea from 1716 through 1718. They ambushed ships carrying passengers and cargo in the dim light of dawn and dusk when the pirates' ship was hard to see. The pirates often determined a ship's nationality first.
