This is a reissue and comes from tooling made back in 2013 by Atlantis. Based on the Classic Aurora kit.
Within the rogue's gallery of the 16th century pirates, there were few as feared as Blackbeard. Born as Edward Teach in 1680 Bristol, England, he trolled the West Indies and the east coast of Britain's North American colonies in search of ill-gotten booty.
Upon sight of his ominous sailing ship, "Queen Anne's Revenge", most merchant ships, as well as would-be opponents, reversed course in hasty retreat lest they become engaged in a vicious confrontation with the bloodthirsty sea bandit.
Besides his full flowing beard from which he coined his imposing sailing name, Blackbeard was also known for his coveted buried treasure, that which has yet to be found, even to this day.
