The NOAA's Office of National marine Sanctuaries will help North Carolina recover a large cannon from what is believed to be Pirate Blackbear's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge which sank in 1718 after running aground of the state's coast.
The RV-8501, an 85-foot NOAA research vessel will be assisting.
The October 26, 2011, Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported that the 2,000 pound, 8-foot-long cannon had been recovered from the ship after being underwater for almost 300 years.
