"I was just wondering, why is it that we are no longer pointed in the direction of North Carolina. As you said we would be?"
Billy Turner to Jack Sparrow[src]

North Carolina was a territory in the Southeastern region of North America. It was bordered by South Carolina to the south, Virginia to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and makes up the Carolinas region of the East Coast. Raleigh was a settlement and town in North Carolina. After a colony was established in the 1600s, the colony was eventually divided and North Carolina was established as a colony of the British Empire by the 1700s. Many coastal towns of North Carolina were popular pirate hideouts.

History[]

"New Orleans! Why New Orleans? What happened to North Carolina?"
Billy Turner to Jack Sparrow[src]

Captain Edward Teach's career as a pirate began when he fell in with Ben Hornigold, quite a pirate in his own right, who gave young Teach command of a sloop. As his beard grew longer, thicker, and blacker, so did his reputation. And from the greasy mass that hung to his chest, he assumed the cognomen: Blackbeard. For months he terrorized the Virginias and Carolinas, blockading the harbor at Charleston for weeks at a time.[2]

After a few months of sailing as a sailor and pirate aboard the Fleur de la Mort, Billy Turner was awarded a portion of the Fleur's treasure for saving the ship from the vicious Captain David Donovan and his sea beast. Billy used that money to buy a quaint little cottage on the shores of North Carolina for his Uncle Seamus and Aunt Erin, where they both settled with Billy's dog, Crumbs.[4] At some point before the quest for the Shadow Gold, a former pirate Billy Turner settled in North Carolina with his wife and child, but he was soon tricked into joining the crew of the Black Pearl under Captain Jack Sparrow.[3]
