Overview
According to pirate lore, Georgia’s coastal Blackbeard Island was one of Edward "Blackbeard" Teach’s hideouts. Tales of buried treasure persist even today nearly 300 years after Blackbeard’s death. After terrorizing the Atlantic Coast for nearly two years from 1716 to 1718, Blackbeard was finally brought to justice at the end of a sword. As a sworn law enforcement officer in Georgia, you’ll find your share of action in growing cities like Atlanta.
