The Search for Blackbeard's Legacy

Local retired solicitor, Lady Laura Norder, has spent the last decade researching her family tree. With the advancements in DNA profiling, she has strong evidence to suggest that she is a distant relative of the infamous pirate, Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard. According to historical evidence, before his final battle, Blackbeard threw overboard a bottle containing important legal documents that could prove Norder's family heritage and lead to an inheritance claim on his treasure. The bottle washed up on a small island off the coast of North Carolina, where a Spanish missionary buried it for safekeeping. Norder now has a map that purports to the bottle's location, but it contains several local clues that must be solved first. Will YOU join Lady Laura Norder on her quest to prove her lineage to Blackbeard the Pirate?
