Who is the most famous pirate in history?

The most notorious pirate king, Blackbeard.

Blackbeard (nickname, blackbeard), whose real name is edward teach (or edward teach,1680-1718165438+1October 22nd).

When Britain and Spain fought for maritime hegemony, both countries acquiesced in and supported piracy. In order to weaken Spain's maritime power, cut off Spain's maritime trade routes and encourage its private merchant ships to be converted into privateers to rob Spanish merchant ships at sea, so maritime robbery is reasonable.

17 15, when Tiki commanded the Queen of Revenge to go to sea with 40 guns, he took the initiative to attack the Royal Navy, which is something that ordinary pirates dare not provoke. Blackbeard robbed a merchant ship Ellen near the waters of the Royal Navy garrison port. The British Navy sent warships to intercept it, but Blackbeard did not fight back. Instead, he cleverly avoided the fire, and then seized the opportunity to sail at full speed and hit the warship that intercepted it. The two armies changed from naval warfare to hand-to-hand combat. Black-bearded Titch became famous from World War I, and the whole Atlantic was caught in the psychological fear that even the Royal Navy could not ensure safety.

17 18 Blackbeard besieged the British colony in North America-the port of Charleston, North Carolina. In this bloody battle, Blackbeard himself was shot five times and stabbed twenty times, and died at the hands of captain Maynard, an Englishman. Captain Maynard hung Tiki's head with a black beard on the flagpole of the warship to declare victory.

Blackbeard's fleet has four warships, and the Queen of Revenge is his main battleship. The Queen of Revenge, with a captain between 27 and 32 meters and 40 cannons, was one of the best warships at that time. However, in 17 18, the Revenge Queen ran aground on the coast near North Carolina, and Blackbeard was killed by the British navy. 1997, an American diver found the wreckage of the Revenge Queen 200 meters off the coast of North Carolina. In 2006, Chris Soslie, an American archaeologist, led an archaeological team of 13 people to dive into the seabed at a depth of 6 to 7.5 meters to excavate the wreck.

The last pirate king

Bartholomew roberts (168 1- 1722 February) is a famous pirate. He is called the Black Baron because of his handsome appearance and polite manners.

17 19, Roberts' fleet was looted by the pirate Davis, so Roberts joined Davis' pirate team. Because Roberts and Davis are Welsh, and Roberts is very smart, Roberts quickly became Davis's right-hand man, but shortly after Roberts joined, Davis was killed in the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, and Roberts was elected as the captain to lead the pirate group.

When Roberts became a captain, he took revenge in the place where Davis was killed, then robbed the merchant fleet south along the African coast, then entered the Caribbean, sailed north to Newfoundland, and robbed the fleet crossing the North Atlantic. 1720, Roberts successfully attacked a Portuguese merchant ship moored in a port in Brazil, and won a great victory. He robbed the cargo on the ship and converted the robbed merchant ship into a warship, named Royal Happiness. Since then, Roberts robbed 65,438+05 merchant ships in Dominica, and sank the largest Dutch warship in the port of San Cretos at 65,438+07,265,438+0.
