Blackbeard
The famous pirate, Edward Teach (Thatch, Tach, Tash, etc.), otherwise known as Blackbeard, was finally killed by the British Navy just north of here at Ocracoke Island. His flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge, sank in 1718. It was discovered in 1996, in 20 feet of water just southeast of Beaufort Inlet.
HERE is a great link with wonderful information about Blackbeard.
