Appear On The Records
861
00:40:15,172 --> 00:40:17,206
As Having Been
With Blackbeard
862
00:40:17,206 --> 00:40:22,172
Are Buying Land Here In Bath
For These Slaves.
863
00:40:22,172 --> 00:40:25,517
These Slaves, Of Course,
Arrived On This Pirate Ship
864
00:40:25,517 --> 00:40:28,517
Not Knowing Where They Were
Going, What Their Future Held,
865
00:40:28,517 --> 00:40:30,241
And They Were At The Mercy
Of Their Pirate Masters,
866
00:40:30,241 --> 00:40:32,137
But They Come Here
To Bath And,
867
00:40:32,137 --> 00:40:34,310
Over Time,
Become Skilled Tradesmen.
868
00:40:34,310 --> 00:40:36,344
And They Helped
To Build America
869
00:40:36,344 --> 00:40:38,448
Into The Nation
That It Is Today.
870
00:40:38,448 --> 00:40:41,551
Unfortunately,
The History Of Those Men
871
00:40:41,551 --> 00:40:44,655
Has Been Eclipsed
By Blackbeard's Vast Legend.
872
00:40:44,655 --> 00:40:45,896
It's This Opaque Legend
873
00:40:45,896 --> 00:40:49,931
Before And Even
Long After His Death.
874
00:40:49,931 --> 00:40:52,241
It Certainly Puts Blackbeard
And His Legacy
875
00:40:52,241 --> 00:40:54,689
In A Very Different Light.Yeah, I Agree.
876
00:40:54,689 --> 00:40:56,896
In The End,
It's Easy To See
877
00:40:56,896 --> 00:40:58,689
Why Our Fascination
With Blackbeard
878
00:40:58,689 --> 00:41:00,379
Has Endured For Centuries.
879
00:41:01,517 --> 00:41:05,413
The Ocean Was A Stage, And He
Was Its Consummate Showman
880
00:41:05,413 --> 00:41:08,206
With A Threatening Flair
For The Dramatic.
881
00:41:08,206 --> 00:41:11,137
But Did He Really Hide Loot
On Cayman Brac
882
00:41:11,137 --> 00:41:12,793
As Other Pirates Did,
883
00:41:12,793 --> 00:41:15,103
Or Did He Stash It
Off The Carolina Coast
884
00:41:15,103 --> 00:41:17,068
Before His Last Stand?
885
00:41:17,068 --> 00:41:19,413
Dogged Archaeologists
And Historians
886
00:41:19,413 --> 00:41:22,413
Are Reconstructing
The Puzzle Of Blackbeard's Life,
887
00:41:22,413 --> 00:41:25,241
And The More We Learn About It,
The Harder It Is To Hum
888
00:41:25,241 --> 00:41:27,724
"A Pirate's Life For Me."
889
00:41:27,724 --> 00:41:30,103
Blackbeard Famously Said That
890
00:41:30,103 --> 00:41:33,931
Only He And The Devil Himself
Knew Where The Treasure Was.
891
00:41:33,931 --> 00:41:37,344
With The Revelation That He May
Have Traded In Human Lives,
892
00:41:37,344 --> 00:41:39,000
Perhaps It's
More Accurate To Say
893
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,655
That He And The Devil
Were One And The Same.
