The Blackbeard Project

The Blackbeard Project is an initiative aimed at exploring the life and legacy of the infamous pirate Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach. This project, often tied to historical preservation and education, seeks to research and interpret artifacts related to Blackbeard’s life, particularly shipwrecks and sites linked to his activities in the early 18th century. It involves collaboration among historians, archaeologists, and museums to provide a deeper understanding of piracy, maritime history, and the cultural impact of figures like Blackbeard. Ultimately, it seeks to engage the public with this intriguing chapter of history.
