Other known variations are Thach, Thache, Thack, Tack, Thatche and Theach. {{Lampshaded}} in-universe; an officer discussing Blackbeard thinks it's Teach before being corrected by his informant.

* AceCustom: His ship, the ''Benjamin'', appears to be your run-of-the-mill schooner that you've probably taken down countless times before, with a bit of added flourish in its sails.
