Blackbeard's Cove

FOG, RUM & A GHOST WHO POURS · TOPSAIL ISLAND

Captain Eddie raising a tropical cocktail at a misty driftwood bar tended by the translucent ghost of Blackbeard

— FROM EDDIE'S LOG —

"Found the cove by accident in a fog bank off New Topsail Inlet. Old driftwood bar tucked back in the marsh grass, thatched roof, one lantern still burning. Sat down. Tall fella in a tricorn hat poured me something dark and asked if I'd come to settle the tab. I said I'd come to start one.We been friends ever since."

— Capt. Eddie

A Night at Blackbeard's

OVERHEARD BETWEEN POURS. PRINTED WITH PERMISSION OF THE GHOST.

Four-panel comic of Captain Eddie at the cove bar trading quips with the ghost of Blackbeard about rum, eternal damnation, dental insurance, and unpaid tabs

Edward "Blackbeard" Teach

Sailed these waters until November 22, 1718. Took five musket balls and twenty cuts before he went down — and even then, the man kept pouring. Three hundred years on, he still works the stick most evenings. Pays in stories. Tips in gold doubloons.

☠ Won't shake hands. (Hands pass through.)
🍹 House special is rum. House special is always rum.
🦴 Don't ask about Teach's Hole. He gets quiet.
🕯 Closes at last light. Re-opens in the fog.
