In June of 1718, he deliberately his flagship aground off the Beaufort Inlet. In November of 1996, Mike Daniel of Intersal, a private research company, located a wreckage believed to be Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, two miles off Beaufort, North Carolina. State archeologists have retrieved and conserved a wide assortment of artifacts from the ship, with many more yet to be recovered.
