- About My Library
- Fragments from a single book (cataloged here) were discovered inside a cannon recovered from the wreck of the Queen Anne's Revenge.

- About Me
- The Queen Anne's Revenge was the flagship of Edward Teach (Blackbeard) ran aground in 1718 off the coast of North Carolina. The wreck was discovered in 1996 and much archaeological investigation and recovery has been carried out since that time.
Before its time as QAR, the ship was known as La Concorde, and researchers have determined that it was used as a slave ship for at least three voyages out of Nantes, France. It was captured by Blackbeard's crew in the late fall of 1717 off Martinique and used on raids around the Caribbean and the Atlantic coast (Blackbeard even blockaded the port of Charleston, SC for nearly a week in May 1718). Shortly thereafter, around 10 June, the ship was grounded and abandoned by the pirates. - Location
