Two of the most famous pirates during the Golden Age of Piracy were Anne Bonny and Mary Read yet what we know about them is shrouded in mystery and legends. Despite this their story is still an interesting one.

There are a few things every pirate should be, good with his sword, a good tactician, not a betrayer of their captains etc. Calico Jack wasn't any of these. We pick up with Calico Jack after last Friday's article where he betrayed Charles Vane and led a vote to rid him of the ship.

Last week we told you about the skills Charles Vane had and how he used them to evade capture, this week we tell you about how he got lucky a few times and then... when his luck ran out.

Charles Vane was a ruthless pirate sailing the seas during the 18th century and one of the few that refused a pardon from the king making him a target to those looking to get rid of pirates the hard way.

Today we look at the events immediately before and immediately after Blackbeard's last stand and we find out why a party between friends led to the death of one of the most famous pirates around.

Spoilers! Blackbeard dies but he goes out like the legendary pirate from hell he was!

Pirates! THE Pirate! Possibly the most well-known pirate, Blackbeard! His most daring act, the time he decided to take the ships and the port in Charleston hostage to the surprise of everyone.
