Initially Blackbeard had his ship go to shallower water . Maynard ' s heavier ship hit a sandbar and was stuck . Blackbeard then maneuvered his ship for a broadside barrage . Meanwhile Maynard ordered everything not essential to combat to be thrown overboard to make the ship lighter , and eventually freed the ship . Blackbeard ' s ship launched at least 2 broadside attacks on Maynard ' s . After the last attack , it appeared to the attackers that only Maynard and another crew member were left alive and Blackbeard boarded Maynard ' s ship .

Maynard shot his adversary at point - blank range , while Blackbeard missed . However the shot failed to stop his opponent . Blackbeard pressed on , breaking Maynard ' s sword . Finally , another sailor jumped on Blackbeard ' s back and inflicted a deep wound . Maynard was then able to kill Blackbeard . Blackbeard was beheaded and his head was tied to the bowsprit of his ship for the trip back to Virginia . Upon returning to his home port of Hampton , the head was placed on a stake near the mouth of the Hampton River as a warning to other pirates . Legacy .

La Orchila La Orchila is an island and a military base off the coast of Venezuela , north of Caracas . It has numerous beaches , including one where the sand is markedly pink ( Arena Rosada ) . There is a presidential retreat on this island , and the residential complex reserved for the military houses consists mainly of elevated houses made of wooden logs . There is also a court for bolas criollas . All the facilities are connected by pathways , mostly unpaved but smooth and clean . History . Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez was imprisoned on the island during the April 2002 coup . On March 14 , 2009 , Russian Air Force Major General Anatolii Zhikharev , head of the Russian Air Force ’ s Long - Range Aviation , reported that Venezuela has offered Russia the use of the Antonio Diaz Naval Air Station on the island to base its strategic bombers . Chavez however denied this , which Kremlin official Alexei Pavlov prompted to say that the military just spoke about ' technical possibilities ' . The Dutch considered Orchilla to belong to their nearby island territory of Curaçao . The author M . D . Teenstra still writes in 1836 ( in his book " The Dutch West Indies ) : " " The government of Curaçao also includes the uninhabited islets and rocks Little Curaçao , Aves , Roques and Orchilla . " " He goes on to say that " " Orchilla , although we consider it to belong to Curaçao , is of too little importance to justify any dispute with Spain which claims this island as well . The Republic of Venezuela also considers it theirs and their coastal guard often chases away the fishermen from Curaçao who go there to collect shell fish , fire wood , grass and hay , turtles , and birds ' eggs or burn lime .

Charles François de Mondion Charles - François de Mondion ( 1681 – 1733 ) was a French military engineer who first arrived in Malta in 1715 during the principate of Grand Master Ramon Perellos y Roccaful of the Knights of Malta . His early work was as deputy to the Military Engineer Rene Jacob de Tigne . One of his early works was the second Marsalforn Tower , which however no longer exists . Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena ’ s accession in June 1722 created a significant opportunity for Mondion , as the new Prince of Malta decided to unleash an ambitious building programme . This included extensive works in the fortified Mediaeval city of Mdina , such as the design of the majestic City Gate , the building of Fort Manoel and the development of Floriana , projects for which Mondion , now a Cavaliere di Grazia , was directly responsible . His unexpected death in 1733 cut short a promising career . Mondion was buried in the crypt of the Fort Manoel chapel dedicated to St . Anthony of Padova .

Momsen lung The Momsen lung was a primitive underwater rebreather used before and during World War II by American submariners as emergency escape gear . The Momsen lung was invented by Charles B . Momsen ( nicknamed " Swede " ) . Submariners would train in a deep escape training tower using this apparatus . It was first introduced as standard equipment on P - ( " Porpoise " - ) and " Salmon " - class boats . The device recycled the breathing gas by using a counterlung containing soda lime to scrub carbon dioxide . The lung was initially filled with oxygen and connected to a mouthpiece via twin hoses containing one - way valves : one for breathing in and the other for breathing out . The only known emergency use of the Momsen lung is during the escape from on 25 October 1944 . Thirteen men ( of thirty survivors ) left the forward escape trunk : five were picked up by the Japanese ; three more reached the surface " but were unable to hang on or breathe and floated off and drowned " ; the fate of the other five is unknown . Not all the escapees from the trunk used the Momsen lung . An officer had his mouthpiece knocked out shortly after leaving the submarine . One of the trunk ascents was made without a Momsen lung . Many were unable to leave the trunk or discouraged from attempting an escape . Most of the crew perished . The Royal Navy used a similar device , the Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus , but it was clumsy to use . The Royal Navy later adopted the practice of blow and go , in which the sailor would exhale continuously during ascent to avoid air expanding in the lungs , which could cause them to rupture . Postwar , submariner Walter F . Schlech , Jr . , among others , examined submerged escape without breathing devices and discovered ascent was possible from as deep as : " in one sense , the Momsen Lung concept may have killed far more submariners than it rescued " .
