caption: This evocative picture– entitled This, Lean Straight Rover Looked the Part of a Competent Soldier–was painted by Frank Schoonover and shows Blackbeard’s men marching through Charleston, South Carolina. The most remarkable feat in Blackbeard’s pirate career was his blockade of Charleston in 1718. He sailed into the harbor with a warship and three smaller vessels and held the town to ransom. Tired of his depredations, Governor Spotswood sent two Royal Navy vessels into Ocracoke Inlet to put an end to his activities.
