I'm a History Geek, I love the most about the Golden Age of the Pirates, I was born and raised in N.C. and I visit our coast every summer, I'm about a 4 hour drive inland, lucky thing abut living in N.C., we have our share of Pirate History, Black Beard, Steade Bonnet were some the most famous along our coast.
We even have a legend here in our county that three Pirates were buried in a local grave yard, their graves are mark by the skull and crossbones.
N.C. just has so much interesting history from that time period.
