Edward Teach (Blackbeard the Pirate) decapitated. Edward Teach, born in Bristol is probably the most notorious pirate ever. He was a huge man with a large black beard, hence the knick name. He would plait his beard with fuses which he would light just before going into battle. His sea career began as a privateer but in 1716 he joined a pirate ship. They plundered ships in the Caribbean and off the American coast and towards the end of 1717 seized a French ship, the Concorde which Teach claimed and renamed "Queen Mary's Revenge". Teach built up a fleet of four ships and continued plundering ships, his most famous exploit was blockading Charleston and plundering nine ships in the bay. The Royal Navy was sent after him and he was killed at Ocracoke after a fierce battle. Teach received five pistol shots and 20 severe sword wounds and was still wielding his cutlass with blood gushing out of a neck wound.
