Pirates of Ocracoke Island



The islands off the Carolina coast carry stories of pirates. Read the story of how the notorious Blackbeard was ambushed by Lt. Maynard's crew and killed in 1718.

We ran into this pirate at a restaurant in Ocracoke. The little sign says "Please! Keep yer bloody hands off me person."
