Avast There Ye Pirates!!!

The Nov. 22nd Goldsboro (NC) News-Argus reports that this Friday artifacts from what is believed to be the pirate Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge will be shown at he QAR Conservation Lab in Greenville, North Carolina.

The wreck of it was located in 1996 within sight of Fort Macon State Park. Artifacts including cuff links and cannons will be shown.

The ship was a former French slave ship named the La Concorde. Blackbeard captured it, renamed it, and made it his ship until it sank after running aground a year later.
