Description: Pirates by Patrick Auerbach Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The pirate Blackbeard is perhaps the most notorious of sea robbers. Blackbeard was British, probably born before 1690. His real name was thought to be Edward Teach. As a young seaman, he had served on a British privateer that was based in Jamaica, an island in the Caribbean. Privateers were privately owned, armed ships hired by governments during time of war. The privateers mission was to attack the ships of the enemy. Queen Anne of Britain allowed Teachs privateer to plunder French and Spanish ships during the War of the Spanish Succession and to keep stolen goods. By wars end, Teach had become an experienced sea robber. He then joined a group of fierce Caribbean pirates. Soon the cunning, fearless Teach became captain of his own ship. A ship he had stolen! He added cannons and reinforced the ships sides. His ship was swift, easy to handle, and able to carry a large crew of as many as 250 pirates. The pirates often determined a ships nationality first. Then they raised that countrys flag on the pirate ship so they appeared to be friendly. Now able to draw close to the unsuspecting ship, the pirates hoisted Blackbeards flag only at the last moment. Blackbeards Flag. Merchant crews often surrendered without a fight the moment they saw Blackbeards flag. If the ship didnt surrender after warnings, the pirates moved in. Frequently their first target: the sailor at the ships wheel. Then, as the pilotless ship drifted aimlessly, the pirates snared it with grappling hooks, pulled it closer, and leaped aboard. When the attack ended, the pirates took the passengers and crew hostage and ransacked cabins looking for coins, gold, silver, and jewellery. Blackbeard repeated this scene over and over again.
