Stede Bonnet met Blackbeard (Edward Teach) in 1717, and Teach subsequently took control of the Revenge, Bonnet’s ship. They blockaded Charleston, South Carolina, together in 1718. Afterward, Teach abandoned Bonnet’s ship and crew. There has been speculation about the nature of the personal relationship between Bonnet and Teach, and a transcript of Bonnet’s 1718 trial reveals much about their actions as pirates.
