Blackbeard's Treasure (Middle/High
School) (55:31 min.)
This documentary explores how the tools of modern underwater archaeology
facilitated the location and retrieval of artifacts from what is believed
to be the wreckage of the Queen Anne's Revenge. The flag ship of the
notorious pirate Blackbeard is the oldest and most famous shipwreck in North Carolina
history. The discovery of this ship not only provides insight into
the lives of pirates who sailed the coast of North Carolina in the
early 1700's, but also serves as a window to early colonial life. |
