Blackbeard's Anchor Lifted from Seabed
From The Free Dictionary
After determining that it was too unstable to leave underwater much longer, divers retrieved the anchor of what is believed to have been Blackbeard’s flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, from the waters off of North Carolina. Though the anchor spent nearly 300 years at the bottom of the ocean, experts worried that the four-and-a half-foot, 160-pound grapnel was at risk of washing away and decided not to wait for a full-scale expedition to salvage it. Prior to being captured by Blackbeard in 1717, the Queen Anne's Revenge was a French slave ship known as La Concorde. It ran aground a year after its capture and remained undiscovered until 1996.
