Blackbeard; Or, The Pirate of Roanoke.

A party of travelers explores a secluded, picturesque Atlantic island only to have their pleasure interrupted by the sudden appearance of a notorious pirate. Suspicion about the ship's captain and shifting loyalties lead to naval and shore conflicts, a perilous surprise attack, and a dramatic encounter in which a concealed family connection between the pirate and another seafarer is revealed. These revelations prompt rescue attempts, personal reckonings, and a contest of arms, after which surviving members are reunited and the young couples' romances are solemnized in a cheerful resolution.
