Ocracoke Island

Ocracoke Island North Carolina is an Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Tuscarora Indians had lived here thousands of years ago long before British Explorers. These indigenous peoples encountered pirates, and sailors. On the Island, there is a pirate museum called Teach's Hole, and inside Teach's hole, there is a story read about how colonists in the area imported tobacco (see cigars) and brought pipes to the New World. Pirates smoked pipes, and imported them on their ships.
