BLACKBEARD’S MYSTERY SHIP — $24.95 DVD OUT OF PRINT
50 minutes 2005
In 1718, the infamous pirate Blackbeard and his flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, wreaked havoc raiding British supply routes to and from their American colonies. Then, the British offered a pardon to all pirates who would give up their dastardly ways. Blackbeard decided to accept, but as he moved toward the coast of North Carolina, his flagship ran aground in what is now known as Beaufort Inlet. Eventually Blackbeard abandoned the Queen Anne’s Revenge, leaving her to succumb to the elements...or so the story goes. In 2001, underwater archaeologists found the remains of a ship in the inlet.
