Shipwreck Of Legendary Pirate Blackbeard Found! #shorts

An amazing piece of history was recently pulled from the waters near Beaufort, North Carolina. The relic that had been lost in time came from the legendary ship of the pirate known as Blackbeard!
An actual cannon from the infamous pirate’s last ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge was brought up from the sea, covered in barnacles. Weighing over 2000 pounds (907 kg), it once helped terrorize the seas.
The discovery was made by researchers with the Queen Anne’s Revenge Project, part of an effort to secure artifacts from Blackbeard’s sunken ships. So far, they have found about 280,000 artifacts from various wrecks, most pretty small. This gun was a major discovery simply for its size. It’s about 8 feet (2.4 m) long and according to historians, the last people to have looked at it were real, breathing pirates.

Yeah, because engraved under all the barnacles is clearly "-Property of Edward Teach
- If found return to Queen Anne's Revenge or else ☠"

the way they used to build ships is so fascinating look at all the little things that have to be just right for it to work good and if it’s not perfect you probably wouldn’t last long

also that anchor is gigantic how’d they even make that back then

That cannon looks like it’s from The Flying Dutchman

It's amazing how people can go out into the deep dark ocean and find sunken pirate ships but nobody can find Hunter Biden's laptop or Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's client's list 🤣

He was on another ship when he was killed. The Queen Anne's Revenge was scuttled by Blackbeard before this to lessen his crew..

What history class did you submit this for? And did you know you were getting a C at best?

[mikaelafox]

Nice history lesson, but what exactly was found?

[rodneymiller]

So the funny part here is queen Ann's revenge Wes sunk off the coast of cape Hatteras, North Carolina

[SillySpudyRocking]

It was a British buit ship first and the French captured it in the Spanish war of succession

His ship wouldn't have been able to fight off the royal navy on it's own.

Uhm, Royal Navy of Virginia isn’t or wasn’t a thing…
