USS Queen Anne's Revenge

USS Queen Anne’s Revenge was a famous pirate ship commanded by Blackbeard during the early 18th century. Originally a French slave ship, it was captured and transformed into a pirate vessel around 1717. The ship was known for its size, strength, and intimidating reputation on the Atlantic and Caribbean seas. In 1718, it was abandoned after running aground off North Carolina. Today, its wreckage has been discovered and studied by archaeologists, providing valuable insights into pirate history, shipbuilding, and maritime life of that era.
