Loading...State underwater archaeology divers will begin a two-week dive expedition this week at the shipwreck in Beaufort Inlet presumed to be the Queen Anne’s Revenge, flagship of the notorious pirate Blackbeard. One of the goals of the expedition is to
bring up a 13-foot by 8-foot wrought iron anchor, one of four large anchors remaining at the site. A 5-foot grapnel anchor was retrieved from the site in 2009 and is undergoing conservation. The dive expedition is one of many events leading up to the June 11 grand opening of the new Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge exhibit at the N.C. Maritime Museum. The exhibit will
showcase the artifacts and history of the wreckage, and will fill about a third of the museum’s exhibit space. To find out more, click here.
