  4. Well done anonymous - Blackbeard used to hide his ship in this pirate havan - there are still old huts in the hills where the pirates lived which you can see from the water. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a famous book called Treasure Island - it was said he used the caves on Norman Island as his inspiration. This photo was taken quite near there!

  6. Not in Bermuda Leonie - Blackbeard used to hide his ship in many places, but this one even has a bar called the Jolly Roger!

  7. Ok, I'm determined to get this one! Assuming it's not the Jolly Roger'd bar in London ..... so is it Sosua, Dominican Republic?

  8. Arrgghh ye be hooked Leonie :) The purser used to give the sailors their rum while sailing the high seas looking for pirates. That's why there's a Pussers Bar in the same hideaway. You can't beat drinking rum in the caribbean!
