Pirates and their hunters took over the state dock Saturday at Bath’s annual Pirates in the Port event. Dozens of people took in the narrated story and re-enactment of Blackbeard taking his leave with crew from the shores of Bath Creek, along with his subsequent return — or his head’s return — with the British Lt. Maynard. A trial on the grounds of the Palmer-Marsh House followed. Also on the grounds of the Palmer-Marsh House were several living history displays, showing what cooking, medicine, weapons and more were like in the colonial period.
