who sailed in a ship called queen ann's revenge
Queen Anne's Revenge Queen Anne's Revenge was an early-18th-century ship, most famously used as a flagship by the pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach). Although the date and place of the ship's construction are uncertain,[3] it is believed she was built for merchant service in Bristol in 1710 and named Concord.[4] One year later she was captured by the French and renamed La Concorde. After several years' service with the French (both as a naval frigate and as a merchant vessel - much of the time as a slave trading ship), she was captured by Blackbeard and his pirates in 1717. Blackbeard used the ship for less than a year,[5] but captured numerous prizes using her as his flagship.
