| Additional information |
Queen Anne's Revenge was the flagship of Edward Teach — Blackbeard — acquired by capturing the French slaver La Concorde off Martinique in November 1717. He mounted her with additional cannon and terrorized Atlantic shipping lanes until running her aground, almost certainly deliberately, at Topsail Inlet, North Carolina in 1718, months before his death in battle off Ocracoke Island. The wreck was located in 1996 and remains under active archaeological excavation by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
Barbados issues this piece under its broader pirate-history numismatic program, a commercially successful series that leans on the Caribbean's documented role as a provisioning and refuge zone for early eighteenth-century pirates.
