Why Is Blackbeard Important In The Caribbean
BLACKBEARD
The most known pirate of the Caribbean. Blackbeard the pirate is one person that most children could tell you who is. There have been many children stories, games, and movies based on the events of this man. I believe that he should be included in your exhibit so visitors have the opportunity to see the real story behind him. Blackbeard's real name is believed to be Edward Teach. He was born in 1680. He called England his home even though he spent from 1716 to 1718 in the Caribbean Sea, this was known as the golden age of piracy. His most famous vessel was the Queen Anne's Revenge. (wikipedia.org) In his life he had a total of thirteen wives. He was known to wear hemp and lighted matches woven into his big black beard.

    The most dangerous and fearsome pirate that I know about the most is Blackbeard the Pirate. Blackbeard’s presumed name was Edward Teach, but some believe that it was only an alias to protect his family back home. His cognomen, Blackbeard, was derived from his thick black beard and fearsome appearance. Blackbeard was a shrewd and calculating leader. He avoided the use of force, relying instead on his fearsome image to elicit the response he desired from those he robbed.…

    To start with I already mentioned the car and the ease to touch and to get in yes they probably have cameras on it but it is still possible to get in. Also the short rope guard rail can easily be reached under by little kids or even adults especially how close the artifacts are to the edge of the platform. Some of the objects easily accessible are dangerous like sharp rusted metal which is not good in a normal circumstance would be good to have near children but right in arm’s length right under the rope is a bad idea. I would say they don’t have the budget to put in a case because some objects are in glass cases but it easily can be hung on the wall more out of the way. They have clothing that I saw little kids playing with one of the coats which looked to be a 1920’s mink coat. That should be more protected than just sitting in the museum where anyone could touch it. My next problem there is one problem all the display cases are full except one on the physically challenged women the case is bare and looks almost thrown together last minute but my other problem with the display they have a Michigan flag in it but it was just shoved in the display like it was balled up and thrown in and left where and how it landed. The other side of this display also had a problem yes it is still a simple fix but it is still a proble for a display in a dim room that the light bulbs had burned out…

    This exhibit is something I truly loved because when I was a kid I used to collect rocks that were from mining and love to go this exhibit. I would go to the gift shop and get all kinds of souvenirs from my trip. This exhibit has fossil remains, the beauty of rocks and minerals, geology and critters of a limestone cave. It is so beautiful. There are also depictions and carvings of the layers along steep banks of the James River, and gems in an underground mine. If your child is a rock lover, it is definitely the place to take them…

With the racial and political climate we are in right now, I think that EVERYONE especially teens need to see this exhibit.

    “Antigua is a small place, a small island,” nine by twelve miles long, discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 (Kincaid, 80). Europeans later settled on the island along with the slaves they imported. In A Small Place, Kincaid described the Europeans as “Human rubbish,” who took “noble and exalted human beings from Africa” to enslave them (80). She made no effort to conceal her thoughts about the little island consumed by the after effects of colonialism. Driven by anger and resentment toward Antiqua’s British implemented culture, Kincaid explored the intricacy of the after…

    Europeans came into contact with the Caribbean after Columbus's momentous journeys in 1492, 1496 and 1498. The desire for expansion and trade led to the settlement of the colonies. The indigenous peoples, according to our sources mostly peaceful Tainos and warlike Caribs, proved to be unsuitable for slave labour in the newly formed plantations, and they were quickly and brutally decimated. The descendants of this once thriving community can now only be found in Guiana and Trinidad.…
