Captain Blackbeard (Edward Teach / Thatch) T-Shirt

Known As: Captain Blackbeard
Born: Around 1680, Bristol, England
Died: November 22, 1718, Ocracoke Island, North Carolina

Origins: Little is known about his early life, but it’s believed he was a privateer (a government-sanctioned pirate) during the War of the Spanish Succession before turning full pirate around 1716.
Flagship: Queen Anne’s Revenge — a heavily armed French slave ship he captured and refitted with 40+ cannons.
Crew: Commanded around 300 men and a small pirate fleet at his peak.
Tactics: Known for psychological warfare — he would tie slow-burning fuses into his beard and hat, making himself appear wreathed in smoke and fire during battle.

Appearance: Towering, intimidating, with a thick black beard braided and lit with fuses.
Myth: Though terrifying, many accounts say he avoided unnecessary bloodshed — preferring intimidation over violence.
Symbol: His flag depicted a skeleton holding an hourglass and spear aimed at a bleeding heart — symbolizing death and the fleeting nature of life.

Killed in a dramatic battle against Lieutenant Robert Maynard of the Royal Navy.
Reportedly suffered five gunshot wounds and more than twenty sword cuts before he fell.
His head was hung from Maynard’s ship as proof of victory.
