Blackbeard’s Crew Invades Raleigh

The folks pictured above are a part of Blackbeard’s Crew. According to the web site,

Blackbeard’s Crew is a living history performance group dedicated to the accurate representation of seafaring life in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, specifically 1690-1720. Blackbeard’s Crew was founded in the year of our lord 2000.

They weren’t gathering for raiding and/or pillaging, but to celebrate the publishing of Kevin Duffus’s book, Shipwrecks of the Outer Banks The Last Days of Black Beard the Pirate, available on his web site. There are quite a few pirates in Raleigh. If you haven’t seen them, you aren’t looking hard enough.
