I also just finished reading a short book about Blackbeard's final fight and ultimately his death. Quite fascinating to read about.
And can I just say the folks of OFMD have done a fantastic job accurately portraying the real historical figures of Blackbeard, Steve Bonnet, and Izzy Hands. Like the book mentioned Blackbeard's first mate Israel Hands managed to escape getting hanged because he was given a pardon last minute, most likely due to being an informant about his fellow crew members piracy actions. xd Oh Izzy...
