BLACKBEARD will be there!

[capn'rob]

For those who may not know, the Beaufort Pyrate Invasion is the reenactment of an actual event at the actual location. This is the only Reenactment/ Festival I know of that does such. Were this not reason enough to attend, the location is beautiful. Looking across from Front Street to Carrot Island, you can see wild ponies grazing in the evenings.

The Blackbeard presence. As you may know, the wreck presumed to be the "Queen Anne's Revenge", has been found and is being excavated off the Beaufort-Morehead Inlet. The North Carolina Maratime Museum is the repository of the Artifacts! From Sewing Needles to Cannon. All are indicative of the age and size of this vessel. The words "Queen Anne's Revenge" or other exact proof have not yet been found and so they have not claimed a certainty of identity. The display of artifacts are worth the trip to Beaufort! This Museum is Free! Has a great Portrayal of the Coastal Carolina History and Blackbeard. Toss in a weekend of Pyrate Mayhem and I asks ye, Why wouldn't ye go?

Of course Black Beard was dead at the time of the Beaufort invasion

[Capt. Bo of the WTF co.]

He wasn't dead, he was just trapped in Limbo under Aldeathea's curse until Dean Jones broke the bedwarmer and read the curse that let him out of Limbo until he did a good deed. Walt Disney did a film about it, it's really cool. He rode motorcycles and everything!

Are you Sure? Capt. Bo raises some valid issues.
