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.

His favorite place was Bath,NC and he also was at the Ocracoke Inlet-(Coastal Plain Region North Carolina) (Today I learned this in social studies)
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.
Well, he's dead. He was killed off the coast of North Carolina and his body was tossed overboard. Captain Robert Maynard hung his severed head from his bow, and was displayed as a warning to other pirates. His head eventually was stolen by his supporters and vanished. It is rumoured his skull was lined with silver and used as a chalice. The museum in Carolina claims to have it on display, however this is yet to be proven.
Edward Teach was better known as Blackbeard. He was a notorious English pirate in the Caribbean Sea and western Atlantic during the early 18th century. His best known vessel was the Queen Anne's Revenge, which is believed to have run aground near Beaufort Inlet in the Inner Banks of North Carolina in 1718.
