Be sure to join us for our membership meeting at the Chesapeake Central Library on Sunday, November 17, 2024, at 2:00pm. Our guest, Brandan Adams of the Mariners Museum and Park, will give a presentation on Blackbeard in the Americas. Blackbeard, one of the most feared pirates of the 18th century, wreaked havoc up and down the eastern seaboard of North America. Brandan Adams addresses the man, myth, and legend surrounding Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, and his ties to Virginia and North Carolina.
