Lieutenant Robert Maynard hung Blackbeard's decapitated head from the bowsprit of his sloop in order to collect the ransom offered by the Governor of Virginia.

It was believed that Blackbeard's head was mounted on the bowsprit of the Adventure while his body was tossed into the ocean after he was killed. He was killed in 1718.
Blackbeard's head was famously severed during his final battle on November 22, 1718, near Ocracoke Inlet in North Carolina. After his death, the head was tied to the bowsprit of Lieutenant Robert Maynard's ship as a trophy. Eventually, it was reportedly displayed on a pike at the entrance of the Hampton, Virginia harbor as a warning to other pirates. The exact location of Blackbeard's head today is unknown, as it has since been lost to history.
Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach, was caught during a fierce battle on November 22, 1718, off the coast of Ocracoke Inlet in North Carolina. His capture was orchestrated by Lieutenant Robert Maynard of the Royal Navy, who led a surprise attack on Blackbeard's anchored ship. After a brutal fight, Maynard's crew eventually overpowered Blackbeard and killed him. Following his death, Maynard famously beheaded Blackbeard and displayed his head on the bow of his ship as a warning to other pirates.
He isn't buried. He was killed at sea during a battle with Lieutenant Robert Maynard who was sent after Blackbeard by the governor of Virginia. His body was decapitated and the body was thrown overboard. The head was tied to the bowsprit when Maynards crew headed back to shore. Legend has it that the headless body of Blackbeard swam around the ship three times before it sank. This all took place in Okracoke Inlet off of North Carolina.
Edward Teach, otherwise known as Blackbeard, called Bath, North Carolina his home. He sailed the ship called the Queen Anne's Revenge. Blackbeard held the city of Charleston hostage in May of 1718. He later temporarily stopped being a pirate and retired to Bath with his 14th wife. He returned to pirating ways in November and was captured by Lieutenant Robert Maynard. Maynard cut off Blackbeard's head and hung it from the bow of his ship.
Everyone has a head, silly!
