The Adventures of Blackbeard and his Imminent Downfall!
Ahoy mateys! Apologies for my scallywag-like behavior lately -- hope you don't hang the jib too much since I've been gone. I've got a new sloop and crew so I'm back at it again and looking for some fresh booty! And if you are confused at all to what that means, tune into this season starter about the legend of Blackbeard and learn some pirate slang. We'll cover some of his early days and then explore his reign during the Golden Age of Piracy--and finally cover his imminent downfall off the coast of North Carolina.
