Regarded as one of the most devious and ruthless pirates who ever tormented the seven seas in the early part of the 18 century, Blackbeard's activities might not have extended for decades but the history of this pirate is one that is recounted more than any other scurvy dog of his time. Aboard the trust worthy vessel, The Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard fought in wars on the open seas, experienced swashbuckling battles, narrowly escaped capture on multiple occasions, and freed slaves along the way. This is all leading up to an epic, fateful and final stand. So prepare yourselves as we step into the dangerous, exciting, dirty and yet somewhat sexy world of pirates, today on Brain Bitez.
