The morning he picked the wrong fight.
November 22, 1718. Ocracoke Inlet, off the North Carolina coast. Lieutenant Robert Maynard of the Royal Navy ran two chartered sloops into Blackbeard's anchorage at dawn. Teach and his crew had been drinking through the night. The fight lasted about an hour. Maynard hid most of his men below decks, lured Teach into boarding what looked like a defeated ship, and sprang the trap. Teach took five pistol balls and roughly twenty cutlass wounds before he fell. Maynard cut off his head, hung it from the bowsprit, and sailed back to Virginia. The painting on this mug is Jean Leon Gerome Ferris's 1920 rendering of the battle. Drink your coffee and remember what it costs to live loud.
