Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge

Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge was a famous pirate ship commanded by the notorious pirate Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach. Initially a French slave ship named La Concorde, Blackbeard captured it in 1716 and renamed it. The ship was equipped with around 40 cannon and became known for its imposing power and swift speed. Operating mainly in the Caribbean and along the American coast, Queen Anne's Revenge was significant in the Golden Age of Piracy. In 1718, it ran aground near North Carolina and was later abandoned, becoming a symbol of pirate legend and maritime history.
