Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1713 the War of the Spanish Succession came to an end. During the conflict hundreds of privateers – licenced pirates – preyed on enemy shipping throughout the Caribbean. These privateers now found themselves out of a job, and many turned to piracy. One of theme was Edward Teach – more popularly known as “Blackbeard”. He joined the pirates in New Providence (now Nassau) in the Bahamas, and by early 1717 he had become a pirate captain. From then on he caused havoc off the North American seaboard, in the West Indies and off Honduras, before appearing off Charleston, South Carolina in May 1718. He blockaded this major port for a week, an act that made Blackbeard the most notorious pirate of his day.

Download or read book The Pirates of the Pamlico A Maritime Cultural Landscape Investigation of the Pirates of Colonial North Carolina and Their Place in the State s Cultural Memory written by Allyson G Ropp and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During this period (1663-1730), North Carolina was a poor colony in the British Empire. The landscape provided ample opportunities for pirates to establish operational bases. Besides Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach, numerous others—such as Henry Every and Charles Vane—roamed the colony. This study shows that colonial North Carolina was used as a pirate haven, due to the geographical, socio-economic, and political influences that affected the colony. Through the lens of the maritime cultural landscape, various tangible and intangible remains were identified reconstructing the places of the pirates. Overlaid maps of pirate locations and colonial settlements suggest the pirates had varying degrees of interactions (i.e. trade, marriage, social gatherings) with the local populations. Investigations of the urban landscapes as contemporary community spaces, in addition to serving as a historic pirate haven, reflect the collective pirate memory manifested in place and street names.

Download or read book Pirate Nests and the Rise of the British Empire 1570 1740 written by Mark G. Hanna and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the rise and subsequent fall of international piracy from the perspective of colonial hinterlands, Mark G. Hanna explores the often overt support of sea marauders in maritime communities from the inception of England's burgeoning empire in the 1570s to its administrative consolidation by the 1740s. Although traditionally depicted as swashbuckling adventurers on the high seas, pirates played a crucial role on land. Far from a hindrance to trade, their enterprises contributed to commercial development and to the economic infrastructure of port towns. English piracy and unregulated privateering flourished in the Pacific, the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean because of merchant elites' active support in the North American colonies. Sea marauders represented a real as well as a symbolic challenge to legal and commercial policies formulated by distant and ineffectual administrative bodies that undermined the financial prosperity and defense of the colonies. Departing from previous understandings of deep-sea marauding, this study reveals the full scope of pirates' activities in relation to the landed communities that they serviced and their impact on patterns of development that formed early America and the British Empire.
