The Carolina Coast has had a long history with pirate invasions with the likes of Blackbeard and Woodes Rodgers. Today North Carolina’s coast has plenty in store for visitors interested in pirate history. Blackbeard’s memory hangs over the island of Ocracoke and the towns of Beaufort and Bath. The Beaufort Maritime Museum boasts an exhibit of Blackbeard’s flagship Queen Anne’s Revenge with official artifacts and documents.
