On Black Caesar

1700s. Black Caesar, according to traditional accounts, was a prominent African tribal war chieftain. Widely known for his "huge size, immense strength, and keen intelligence," he evaded capture from many different slave traders. Caesar was finally captured, but escaped into Florida Keys and began a life of piracy. For nearly a decade, he raided shipping from the Florida Keys and later served as one of Captain Blackbeard's chief lieutenants aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. Caesar's Rock, one of three islands located north of Key Largo, is the present-day site of his original headquarters and named in his honor.

She would then immediately kill all aboard the ship and sail to sea.
