As a gamer with a penchant for historical fiction and a soft spot for treasure hunts, I can confidently say that Outer Banks season 4 has been nothing short of thrilling so far! The search for Blackbeard’s Blue Crown has certainly added another layer of excitement to the already intriguing story.


Certainly, the OBX tale revolves around the thrilling pursuit of hidden treasures, and the Pogues have certainly mastered this craft.

In light of their need for as much cash as possible, they are determined to secure it!

The grand prize they seek is known as The Blue Crown, and it’s this legendary treasure of Blackbeard that has led Pope and Sarah into a dire predicament – trapped underground with no exit in sight and rising waters. They urgently need an escape plan! Now, you might wonder if the mythical Blackbeard’s Blue Crown actually exists. This fictional series incorporates historical elements and real characters.

The Blue Crown from Outer Banks season 4 is not real

Contrary to what some might believe, there’s no actual treasure called the Blue Crown associated with Blackbeard, or Edward Teach, in real life, as portrayed in Outer Banks season 4. The show has incorporated fictional elements into the narrative that aren’t historically accurate. However, just like any other series, creators have the freedom to include what they deem fitting for their storyline.

Blackbeard, indeed, was a notorious pirate who met his demise in North Carolina. Nowadays, remnants of what is believed to be his ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, can be observed at the North Carolina Maritime Museum. Regrettably, no genuine treasure or significant artifacts were discovered during excavation, and both the amulet and Blue Crown are fictional creations, concocted for the narrative of OBX.

Additionally, it is not accurate to say he was married to a woman named Elizabeth Teach; rather, there are rumors suggesting he may have wed Mary Ormund. Despite his tragic end – being executed and his head displayed on the ship of his captors – some contemporary individuals maintain that his spirit continues to haunt. However, for the sake of historical accuracy, it is worth noting that the story often portrays Elizabeth’s ghost instead.

In a typical fashion, Outer Banks season 4 blends reality with imagination for another exciting treasure hunt adventure for the Pogues. The Cross of Santo Domingo that appeared in Outer Banks season 2 was actually a fictional creation for the show. Yet, whether it’s real or made up, the story remains an engaging and enjoyable journey. I can’t wait to continue this treasure hunt when part 2 of season 4 arrives soon!

The fourth part of “Outer Banks” Season 4 is set to debut on Netflix this coming Thursday, November 7, 2024. Don’t forget to catch up on our recaps and reviews from the initial half of the season!
