Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard (c. 1680 – 22 November 1718), was a notorious English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of the American colonies during the early 18th century. He captained the "Queen Anne's Revenge", a 200-ton frigate originally named the "Concord", and died in a fierce battle with troops from Virginia on November 22, 1718, at Ocracoke Island.
