After a dismal start to season 3 Lost turned a corner with Desmond's time travel episode. The scenes at the London pub where Desmond tries to explain what is happening to his mate were filmed at O'Toole's Irish Pub in Honolulu.
Outside O'Toole's is also where everyone's favorite Lost couple Rose and Bernard first meet in a season 2 flashback when Rose gets her car stuck in the snow.

where blackbeard was killed
from pirates, blackbeard posted in history by pete_nice
In 1718, the most famous pirate of the day, Edward "Blackbeard" Teach, was chased into a sandbar at Oracoke Inlet by Lieutenant Robert Maynard of the Royal Navy. Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, was immobile in the sand, so he boarded Maynard's ship with his crew to overtake them.
The Royal Navy crew had many sailors hiding below deck and when the pirates boarded, Blackbeard was shot several times at close range.
His head was removed and hung at the front of the ship as a warning to other pirates, as well as to collect the bounty. Legend has it that Blackbeard's body swam around the ship three times.
Today, the Underwater Archaeology Branch of the U.S. Coast Guard is excavating the shipwreck, and it has collected 280,000 artifacts including cannons and the anchor of the Revenge.

The area around Hawaii's former Waialua Sugar Mill, which closed down operations in 1996, was used for Mr. Eko's Nigerian village in season 2 and 3 of Lost.
The exterior of Yemi's church was a facade constructed for the show. The interior was filmed at the Kealiiokamalu Church a couple of miles away.
