North Carolina has created a tourist industry around Blackbeard and his ship including museum exhibits since the ship's discovery in 1996.
The state and Intersal went to mediation in 2013. The Department of Cultural Resources denies any breach of contract. Intersal claims that it searched for the Queen Anne's Revenge for twenty years before finding it.
The Queen Anne's Revenge was a French slave ship called La Concorde when Blackbeard captured it in the fall of 1717 in the Caribbean. Blackbeard renamed the vessel and made it his flagship. However, it sank just a few months later.
