Brave the Blood, Blackbeard and Buccaneers tour
About
Extraordinary new revelations about Blackbeard, the world’s most famous pirate, are promised in Show of Strength’s new walking tour of Bristol docks.
Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, was born in Bristol in the 1680s. Probably. Only there are no records to prove it. But new information from Jamaica supports his Bristol origins, and even fills in some of the missing details of his life. And those details are remarkable.
The real Blackbeard couldn’t have been more different from your average, rum soaked Treasure Island pirate. Much of what we do know about him – including his legendary brutality – was probably self invented. Blackbeard created his own fake news to terrorise his enemies into an early surrender.
