Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project

The Queen Anne’s Revenge Shipwreck Project is an archaeological effort to explore and study the remains of the ship owned by infamous pirate Blackbeard, which sank near North Carolina in 1718. Researchers carefully excavate and analyze the site to recover artifacts, documents, and the ship’s structure. The goal is to better understand maritime history, piracy, and early 18th-century shipbuilding. The project also aims to preserve the site for education and research, providing insights into the pirate era and helping protect this significant historical resource.
