deaderthandoubledead:Well Izzy, apparently you do.“…he [Blackbeard] grounded his ship, and then, as if it had been done undesignedly, and by accident; he orders Hands’s sloop to come to his assistance, and get him off again, which he endeavouring to do, ran the sloop on shore near the other, and so were both lost.” -  A General History of the Pyrates by Captain Charles Johnson I have been informed (by myself while doing some research) that allegedly Blackbeard had both his ship and Izzy’s ship run aground on purpose because he wanted to downsize his fleet so that he didn’t need to share his plunder with so many men and wanted it to look like an accident. -- source link
