Pirate History
During The Golden Age of Piracy (1689-1718), numerous rogues pursued their lawless and
murderous trade throughout the New World. Restrictive laws passed by the British Parliament
had made smuggling acceptable and even desirable in North Carolina and the other American
colonies. Preying upon lightly armed merchant ships, the pirates seized their contents and
sometimes killed those who resisted. Because of its shallow sounds and inlets, North
Carolina's Outer Banks became a haven for many of these outlaws in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries.
Blackbeard was the most notorious pirate in the history of seafaring. With a beard that almost
covered his face, he would strike terror into the hearts of his victims, according to some early
accounts, by weaving wicks laced with gunpowder into his hair, and lighting them during battle.
A big man, he added to his menacing appearance by wearing a crimson coat, two swords at his
waist, and bandoleers stuffed with numerous pistols and knives across his chest.
