Blackbeard
Edward Teach (alternatively spelled Edward Thatch, c. 1680 – 22 November 1718), better known as Blackbeard, was an English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of Britain's North American colonies. Little is known about his early life, but he may have been a sailor on privateer ships during Queen Anne's War before he settled on the Bahamian island of New Providence, a base for Captain Benjamin Hornigold, whose crew Teach joined around 1716. Hornigold placed him in command of a sloop that he had captured, and the two engaged in numerous acts of piracy. Their numbers were boosted by the addition to their fleet of two more ships, one of which was commanded by Stede Bonnet; but Hornigold retired from piracy towards the end of 1717, taking two vessels with him.
Teach captured a French slave ship known as La Concorde, renamed her Queen Anne's Revenge, equipped her with 40 guns, and crewed her with over 300 men. He became a renowned pirate, his nickname derived from his thick black beard and fearsome appearance; he was reported to have tied lit fuses (slow matches) under his hat to frighten his enemies. He formed an alliance of pirates and blockaded the port of Charles Town, South Carolina, ransoming the port's inhabitants. He then ran Queen Anne's Revenge aground on a sandbar near Beaufort, North Carolina. He parted company with Bonnet and settled in Bath, North Carolina, also known as Bath Town, where he accepted a royal pardon. But he was soon back at sea, where he attracted the attention of Alexander Spotswood, the Governor of Virginia. Spotswood arranged for a party of soldiers and sailors to capture him; on 22 November 1718 following a ferocious battle Teach and several of his crew were killed by a small force of sailors led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard.
Teach was a shrewd and calculating leader who spurned the use of violence, relying instead on his fearsome image to elicit the response that he desired from those whom he robbed. He was romanticised after his death and became the inspiration for an archetypal pirate in works of fiction across many genres.

I'm super happy with this beautiful Owl Mandala transfer. It suits my car perfectly. If I could have bought a bigger one, I would've! High-quality printing and materials. I believe the transfer will be relatively weather-resistant. Only time will tell.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, as I am using these stickers as a decal for my ute doors. That being said, it is extremely affordable, and to get these done on another website I saw, they wanted to charge me over $100 for smaller. These stickers are amazing quality and well worth the money. By far exceeded my expectations and will do the job nicely. The stick great. The only thing I would change is instead of a cut out of each part, if they'd have the backing, sticker, then clear over the top for easy application because the moment I tore off the front to apply the sticker, the lettering stayed on the backing paper causing me to have to use the front as a boarder/stencil and carefully apply the lettering inside the lines. But either way, I'm very happy. Thank you. The printing was awesome. Top quality and no issues whatsoever. As I stated in the "what I thought about this product" section, The only thing I would change is instead of a cut out of each part, if they'd have the backing paper, sticker, then clear over the top that the front of the sticker sticks to for easy application in one go. Because the moment I tore off the front to apply the sticker, the lettering stayed on the backing paper causing me to have to use the front as a boarder/stencil and carefully apply the lettering inside the lines

The stick looks amazing. Unfortunately, it would not stick on our suitcase as it was textured. When we found a non-textured (smooth) suitcase, the sticker stuck and looks great. The printing looked awesome.
