YARR!! Pirate Find
On Friday, an almost 3,000 pound anchor from Blackbeard’s pirate ship was hoisted out of the water off the coast of North Carolina.
The anchor was one of three on Blackbeard’s flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge. The ship is believed to have run aground off the coast of Beaufort in 1718 and the wreckage was discovered in 1996.
The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources is trying to rescue quite a bit of Blackbeard’s booty to be used for public education and awareness of underwater preservation projects.
