Thieves, enslaved runaways, debtors, and political prisoners once paced the cells of the Public Gaol as they waited to be tried—or hanged. Perhaps the Gaol's most notorious inmates were several pirates who had served under Blackbeard and were captured with him in 1718. Enjoy a self-guided exploration of the cells where prisoners were held as they awaited trial and punishment.
