Abstract:

Between May 23rd and June 3rd the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources raised an anchor from the Queen Anne's Revenge shipwreck site. The project brought national and international coverage and followed closely after the release of Pirates of the Caribbean, a movie featuring a fictionalized rendition of Blackbeard's ship. After successfully raising the artifact, it was shipped to the QAR lab at East Carolina University's West Research Campus.
