Queen Anne’s Revenge Dive Expedition to Begin

From the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources:

“Researchers on the wreck of the presumed Queen Anne’s Revenge (QAR),
Blackbeard’s flagship, will conduct the fall dive expedition Sept.
15-Nov. 7, and they are thinking big. The highlight of the thousands of
artifacts they expect to recover is a cannon about eight feet long and
weighing more than a ton, at about 2,500 pounds. It will be the 12th
cannon recovered.”
