Blackbeard’s Head & Bell Recovery Video Released!
In
commemoration of the 300th
anniversary of the grounding
of Blackbeard’s flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge,
Nautilus Productions has released two new video clips from the project. In 2005
underwater archaeologists on the Blackbeard's Queen Anne’s Revenge Shipwreck Project uncovered the ship’s head or
toilet from the stern area of the wreck. In 2006 an unmarked bell was recovered.
This is the second bell found on the wreck site. Both were sent to the QAR Lab
for conservation. For the first time short video excerpts of their recovery can
be viewed on Nautilus’ YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2B004FADA64B9A59. The complete videos
of the recoveries are available for license as part of Nautilus’ nearly two
decade long digital record of archaeological efforts on the
Queen Anne’s Revenge.

The infamous pirate
Blackbeard ran his flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge,
aground just outside Beaufort Inlet, NC in June of 1718. He was later killed in
a fierce battle near Ocracoke N.C. in November of 1718. Nautilus Productions is the
exclusive owner and licensor of footage from Blackbeard the Pirate's flagship,
the Queen
Anne's Revenge (QAR). Since the 1996 discovery of the wreck by Intersal Inc. The Nautilus Productions staff has been the official video crew for the study and recovery of the
infamous pirate Blackbeard's ship

find. Nautilus Productions' duties have included the video documentation

shipwreck. This archive is the digital record of the project. Our Queen Anne's Revenge
