Early Look – History of Black Beard and Ocracoke Island

Blackbeard is such and interesting character…did you know that he was pardoned by British royalty just before he and his crew were ambushed and captured…killing him in the process?

Ocracoke Island had some fascinating history and it was just too much fun to walk in the footsteps of this larger than life character.

Hope you enjoy!

  1. “black beard!” How fun! I learned so much that I didn’t know. Sad how he was killed and horrified that they hung his head on the ship. So much history that we don’t usually even think about. Thank you!
