The effect cannot be mistaken for anything else but that of a cruel captain of a pirate ship in the rough, high seas.

Of course their mission was to capture enemy ships. And so we can see how Blackbeard developed his skills. He had,after all, been paid to do exactly the same by the British government.

As a privateer the queen often allowed privateers to keep stolen cargo. From there he went on to join a group of pirates from the Caribbean. His next step was to buy and equip his own pirate vessel.
Here lies the true history of the industry in pirate costumes today.
