Dead Chest Island is an island that is part of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.

History

Sometime during his life, the infamous pirate Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, visited the island and left fifteen of his crew members on the island as punishment. Teach left each sailor with a cutlass and a bottle of rum, and he returned later that month to find most of the men had already died.

In 1774, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton travelled to the island in search of a piece of a map for Peg Leg. Once on the island, Ratonhnhaké:ton pursued a mercenary who held the piece. After killing the mercenary, Ratonhnhaké:ton collected the piece and left the island.
