New booty is going on display after it was collected from the shipwreck believed to be Blackbeard's pirate flagship.

The artifacts on display beginning Friday at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh are fresh from the sea. They were recovered in this fall's expedition at the shipwreck site near Beaufort.

The wreck is believed to be that of Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, which ran aground in Beaufort Inlet in 1718.

The artifacts going on display until Jan. 30 include part of a handblown blue-green window pane believed to have been in the captain's quarters. There's also a brass buckle that may have fastened a belt or weapons bandolier, and brass scale weights for weighing silver coins.

we're trying to make this interesting, get out

1/7/2011 10:31:41 PM

It's a thread about Blackbeard....why are you telling me to get out. It's like telling me to get out of a thread about Hanson...or a thread about Johnny Depp...or a thread about Mermaids....or a thread about me...or a thread about how Hanson was doing the soundtrack to a Movie in which Johnny Depp played Blackbeard where he fell in love with a Mermaid named Nixie.

1/7/2011 11:08:41 PM

exactly, none of those threads would be interesting

1/7/2011 11:09:31 PM

I've never done this before, especially to my own threads, but

THIS THREAD IS NOW CANCELLED.

1/7/2011 11:09:33 PM

I will now claim this thread.

1/7/2011 11:11:29 PM

You can't do that. We're not talking about dinner reservations here.
