Archaeologists lifted out of the Atlantic Ocean an anchor belonging to the dreaded pirate Blackbeard last week. This 11-foot-tall, 7.5-foot-wide anchor was the third largest on Blackbeard’s ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge.
The ship sunk in 1718 near the coast of modern-day North Carolina. Archaeologists hope to have recovered the entire ship by 2013.
