After 300 years, Blackbeard's anchor seen again

May 2011

A massive anchor from what is said to be the wreck of notorious English pirate Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, has been retrieved off North Carolina's coast.

Weighs more than 1,000 kg.

The ship is thought to have sunk in 1718, five months after Blackbeard was killed by British sailors.
