Chess Set Inspiration

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.
