Abstract:

North Carolina’s coastal region, with its multiplicity of small islands, inlets and coves, offered hiding places for pirates. These areas also gave pirates access to isolated coastal towns, major sea routes and commercial shipping. The legends of pirates, such as Blackbeard, live on in North Carolina, and today, they are depicted in outdoor dramas and plays.
