Teague began to make plans on taking a fleet to find and destroy the rest of the rogues on their meeting place. Teague was trapped on the South Docks, and he was able to defeat his enemies with the assistance of his son.[17].

[116][117] Johnson may have been an assumed alias. Teach ordered several sloops to throw ropes across the flagship in an attempt to free her. Upon this, Black-beard took a Glass of Liquor and drank to him with these Words: Damnation seize my Soul if I give you Quarters, or take any from you. Johnson (1724) reported Teach had "no more than twenty-five men on board" and that he "gave out to all the vessels that he spoke with that he had forty".

Like when he and Jack were captured by Lawrence Norrington and taken prisoner aboard his ship[4]; another time was in London, in which Jack was about to be shot by a Royal Guard until Teague shot the guard. Having taken the Pirate's Code almost as seriously as Teague did, Mungard made himself a self-appointed guardian of the Code.

[77], Maynard found the pirates anchored on the inner side of Ocracoke Island, on the evening of 21 November. Some tales suggest that pirates often killed a prisoner on the spot where they buried their loot, and Teach is no exception in these stories,[121] but that no finds have come to light is not exceptional; buried pirate treasure is often considered a modern myth for which almost no supporting evidence exists. The pirate captains at the meeting expressed their dismay over the rogue attacks on peaceful merchant ships, for the fear of war on piracy being declared by the colonial powers of Europe. Edward Teach (c. 1680 [1] - November 22, 1718), better known as Blackbeard, was a notorious English pirate in the Caribbean Sea during the early 18th century, a period of time referred to as the Golden Age of Piracy.His best known vessel was the Queen Anne's Revenge, which is believed [citation needed] to have run aground near Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina in 1718.

The two companies did not receive their prize money for another four years,[97][98] and despite his bravery Maynard was not promoted, and faded into obscurity. The other, Israel Hands, was not present at the fight. Teach and Vane spent several nights on the southern tip of Ocracoke Island, accompanied by such notorious figures as Israel Hands, Robert Deal and Calico Jack. The available records include nothing to suggest that the burial of treasure was a common practice, except in the imaginations of the writers of fictional accounts such as Treasure Island. Bostock, who had been held aboard Queen Anne's Revenge, was returned unharmed to Margaret and was allowed to leave with his crew. Konstam (2007) suggests that while imprisoned, Hands was an informant for Spotswood. After a lengthy engagement, he forced the large and well-armed merchant ship to surrender. Although no confirmation exists that these two ships were controlled by Teach and Bonnet, author Angus Konstam believes it very likely they were. He ordered Captains Gordon and Brand of HMS Pearl and HMS Lyme to travel overland to Bath. [7] It is unknown at what point during the war Teach joined the fighting, as with the record of most of his life before he became a pirate. He took Ranger and one of the sloops, leaving Teach with Revenge and the remaining sloop. Several were black, prompting Spotswood to ask his council what could be done about "the Circumstances of these Negroes to exempt them from undergoing the same Tryal as other pirates." Whether Johnson's description was entirely truthful or embellished is unclear, but it seems likely that Teach understood the value of appearances; better to strike fear into the heart of one's enemies, than rely on bluster alone. As the smoke cleared, Teach led his men aboard, buoyant at the sight of Maynard's apparently empty ship, his men firing at the small group of men with Maynard at the stern. Of the remaining two, one proved that he had partaken of the fight out of necessity, having been on Teach's ship only as a guest at a drinking party the night before, and not as a pirate. Spotswood claimed tenpirates and tenof the King's men dead. Teague, Jack, and the surviving crew members watched the end of El Matador Del Mar. Teague's responsibility as the Keeper of the Code was to investigate the case.

Teach never found Pinkentham, who had instead been caught by a pirate named, Lee (1974) describes these matches as "fuses made of hemp cord about the thickness of a pencil and dipped in a solution of saltpeter and lime water.". Little is known of Blackbeards early life, and his origins have been left to speculation. Apart from the luxuriant black beard which earned him his nickname, the most prominent aspect of the Blackbeard legend is his great buried treasure, which has never been found and probably never existed. [14] Following this adventure, Teague returned with the Pirata Codex book to Shipwreck Island.

Teach's flotilla sailed northward along the Atlantic coast and into Topsail Inlet (commonly known as Beaufort Inlet), off the coast of North Carolina. It was a perfect vantage point from which to view ships travelling between the various settlements of northeast Carolina, and it was from there that Teach first spotted the approaching ship of Charles Vane, another English pirate.
