Read below about the Queen Anne’s Revenge, just one of the many fascinating ships mentioned on the chart…
“Built-in 1710 in England and captured by the French, this three-masted 26 gunship, named La Concorde, was captured by the pirate Blackbeard in 1717. Adding 14 guns and a new name, he used this ship for a six-month time period along with several smaller ships and over 400 men to attack 20 ships along the eastern coast of America and the Caribbean. The Revenge was either grounded in a storm or purposely sunk by Blackbeard in in June 1718. This enabled him to split up his crew and reduce the number of ways that their plunder had to be divided. Blackbeard was killed in a battle outside Ocracoke Inlet in November 1718. Numerous artifacts continue to be recovered from the wreck.”
