This 300-ton vessel was an English frigate built in 1710 and captured by the French one year later. The ship was modified to hold more cargo, including slaves. Captured by the pirate Captain Benjamin Hornigold on November 28, 1717, near the island of Martinique, Hornigold turned her over to one of his men (Edward Teach, later known as Blackbeard) and made him her captain. Blackbeard made her into his flagship, adding cannons. Shortly after blockading Charleston harbor in May 1718, and refusing to accept the Governor’s offer of a pardon, Blackbeard ran Queen Anne’s Revenge aground while entering Beaufort Inlet.
