Beaufort Pirate Invasion

Beaufort Pirate Invasion Event to reenact the 1747 Spanish Attack on Beaufort. Also commemorates Blackbeard and his ship the Q

The Beaufort Pirate Invasion is a reenactment of an event that happened in Beaufort in 1747, when the town was caught up in a battle to defend itself from Spanish privateers. This annual event is created to highlight this unique and historical event of victory. The story unfolds on the waterfront at Taylor’s Creek, throughout town and around a pirate encampment located at the NC Maritime Museum at

Gallants Channel at the foot of the Beaufort bridge. This area is quite possibly the very location the Spanish attacked from. Professional pirate re-enactors, villagers and merchants roam about creating a historical and piratical presence for pirate enthusiasts of all ages to enjoy.
