Jean Leon Gerome Ferris painted Capture of the Pirate Blackbeard in 1920. Pirates thrived in the early 1700s as Atlantic outlaws chasing merchant ships. Blackbeard and his crew based in the Bahamas operated roughly 1713 to 1720, taking booty and evading authorities.
A historical account of Blackbeard the pirate in 1717 1718 with the Revenge renamed Queen Anne’s Revenge after capturing a French slave ship carrying 516 slaves. It covers his North Carolina base near Bath and Ocracoke, Governor Eden, Lt. Robert Maynard’s battle that killed Blackbeard on November 22 1718, and the later 1996 Beaufort Inlet search that identified Cannons and anchors linking to Queen Anne’s Revenge now on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004.

The article outlines Blackbeard born Edward Thatch around 1680 in England. He joined Benjamin Hornigold in the Bahamas in 1713 and led his own pirate ship by 1716. His imposing look featured a long beard and smoke from slow-burning coils during battles. Some historians argue he rarely killed, while many in Britain and the colonies saw him as a Robin Hood figure opposing cruel rulers.

The ocean has become more acidic in the past two centuries due to absorbed carbon dioxide, harming shell-forming sea creatures like oysters and mussels. Without less acidic water, minerals needed for shells are harder to use, so ocean chemistry matters for marine life. For students, look for International Pirate Month events in your newspaper.
