Blackbeard's anchor recovered off NC coast (AP)
MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. – An fix from what's believed to be the wreck of the pillager Blackbeard's flagship has been raised from the ocean story soured the North Carolina coast.
Archaeologists conceive the fix recovered Friday is from the Queen Anne's Revenge, which sank in 1718. That was five months before Blackbeard was killed in a battle.
The artifact is the second-largest item at the shipwreck, outsized only by another anchor.
Researchers retrieved the fix from the accident about 20 feet low liquid and were bringing it to shore. The impact to regain it began last week. The fix is about 13 feet daylong and 8 feet across.
The recovery coincides with the release this month of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides." The flick features both Blackbeard and the Queen Anne's Revenge.
