Excavating Blackbeard's Ship...

[erparamedic]

This is an interesting article that was on Yahoo news. It is about an effort to excavate a ship that they believe may be the Queen Anne's Revenge... Blackbeard's lead ship.

FYI, there are periodic times when one can do a dive on the QAR. See the following link for more info:

There are also projects to bring the history and science alive in the classroom. These guys do GREAT work.

Glad you guys are finding the project and our work interesting. I have to say I enjoy it. I'll pass the positive comments on to Rick Allen as well who is the primary owner and videographer for Nautilus Productions and Vagabond Voyager.

I just wish I could convince Rick that he needs one more person to carry flashlights for him! I wanna dive the Queen Anne's Revenge!!

I went with Mike Daniel, who discovered the QAR in '96. He is a really nice guy but I found out the archeologists and Mike don't get along very well Mike was nice to me, the archeos were nice to me but there was a uneasy feeling nonetheless. Still was a great dive and I found a plate. What a fantistic experience. Go to www.qaronline.org/Oct06Expedition.htm Scroll down to October 31st to see the plate...bottom right.
