Born as Edward Teach in 1680 Bristol, England, he trolled the West Indies and the east coast of Britain’s North American colonies in search of ill-gotten booty.Upon sight of his ominous sailing ship, “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” most merchants hips, as well as would-be opponents, would reverse course and retreat lest they become engaged in vicious confrontation with the bloodthirsty sea bandit.  Besides his full and flowing beard from which he coined his imposing sailing name, Blackbeard was also known for his coveted buried treasure, that which has yet to be found, even to this day.
