Edward Teach better known as Blackbeard, was an English pirate who operated around the West Indies and eastern coast of Britain's North American colonies. Little is known about his early life but he may have been a sailor on privateer ships before he settled on the Bahamian island of New Providence where he joined the crew of Captain Benjamin Hornigold and the two engaged in numerous acts of piracy. #Blackbeard #EdwardTeach #LostPirateKindom #Pirate
