Default My tale of Blackbeard so far.

Women created a shift in piracy on the High Seas by curbing the amount of scurvy aboard buccaneer vessels by adding celery to pirate diets.

Blackbeard shyly accepted the women's role in regulating medicine on board ship and often would thank them by asking his second-in-command to cancel their deck swabbing duties. Blackbeard did prefer rum to celery as did almost all of his crew. Except the deeply religious members who had been kidnapped off of the merchant ships Blackbeard and his crew had sunk.

The upper crust of Blackbeard's crew stored a trunk full of change from raided sunked ships. They had an annual dividing of the spoils among the rest of the crew.

In a ledger on Blackbeard's ship was an account of treasure taken from a slave ship which had once been the prize oaken yacht of a very young caliph.
