While many names might come to mind when someone mentions pirates, the first name of the list that isn't fictional is typically Blackbeard or Edward Teach.  While he has become synonymous with the image of a fearsome pirate, Blackbeard was only truly active as a pirate for about two years (1716-1718) and was known for avoiding violence whenever possible and using the intimidation of his presence and legend to convince others to surrender.  Take a listen to the history of Blackbeard the Pirate!

This week, we are in naughty North Carolina. First up, Kenzie talks about the bitter blood within the Sharp-Newsome family. A story about a prominent southern family filled with juicy secrets and scandals. Next, Lauren brings us the horrid history of one of the most infamous pirates, Blackbeard. You’ll hear about his rise to fame, his tragic demise, and rumors of buried treasure. Brace yourselves, this episode will knock the wind out of your sails.

Pirates have always captured the imagination.  And romance and myth surround them.  Yet the reality was often bleak and violent.  We have images of peglegs and parrots, but the story of piracy often ended at the end of a hangman’s noose and a rotting corpse imprisoned in a gibbet.  They were outcasts and run-of-the-mill criminals and many earnt a wage by working on occasion for navies and governments.  

Certain factors helped the pirate:  lawlessness on land, availability of hidden harbours and a ready market for the goods they stole.  We remember pieces of eight and hidden treasure, but in fact the merchandise they looted and subsequently traded was usually more prosaic.  Figures such as Blackbeard and Calico Jack have featured in many books and movies.  Today there is still piracy, but it is oil tankers and container ships that are the target.  Piracy costs the world money and poses a challenge to governments.

So it goes,

When you think of pirates, warm tropical climates probably come to mind, but the islands off the coast of New England were popular hang-outs for the swashbuckling set.  The Isles of Shoals off  Portsmouth, New Hampshire was home to none other than Blackbeard.
