Over the next few days, since most of the summer events are canceled due to the pandemic, we’re going to be introducing the members of our crew! That way at our next event (whenever that may be) you can already have a little knowledge behind you.

Mr Tyree at your service from about as far West as one can go before hitting the ocean. Did his time in the regular army, so is familiar with firearms. Decided to come East after the army. Now to reach the beyond horizon and adventure he has thrown in with Blackbeard’s Crew. Aside from experience with firearms he has some skill with a needle both with cloth and leather. Along with searching the horizon for adventure he seeks to add to his skills and knowledge.
Today the member’s of Blackbeard’s Crew are remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Oh, tell me not that they are dead — that generous host, that airy army of invisible heroes. They hover as a cloud of witnesses above this nation. Are they dead that yet speak louder than we can speak, and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet act? Are they dead that yet move upon society, and inspire the people with nobler motives, and more heroic patriotism?
Ye that mourn, let gladness mingle with your tears. It was your son, but now he is the nation's. He made your household bright: now his example inspires a thousand households. Dear to his brothers and sisters, he is now brother to every generous youth in the land. Before, he was narrowed, appropriated, shut up to you. Now he is augmented, set free, and given to all. Before, he was yours: he is ours. He has died from the family, that he might live to the nation. Not one name shall be forgotten or neglected: and it shall by and by be confessed of our modern heroes, as it is of an ancient hero, that he did more for his country by his death than by his whole life.

Mister John Rose Archer was originally a fisherman from New Foundland. Archer found himself press ganged into service with Blackbeard. After a short while Archers skills elevated him to Quartermaster of the crew. Upon his departure from Blackbeard’s Crew, Archer was unfortunately captured near Boston where in 1722 he was eventually hanged and his body placed in a gibbet just inside Boston Harbor as a deterrent to other pirates.

Since I manage this account, I guess I’ll go first!
Hi there, I’m Effie! Though my time with the crew hasn’t been long, I have found my second family. I help Mr. Cutter take care of our wounded and sick sailors by supplying medicines, usually in the form of tonics and salves. If you can’t find me at the medical tables I’m probably chasing after our powder monkey, Froggie.
Ahoy! We are Blackbeard’s Crew, hosts of the Blackbeard Pirate Festival in Hampton, Virginia. Welcome to our Instagram! We’ll be posting about upcoming events, as well as giving you a behind the scenes look at the life of a pirate.
