Mary Lardie prepares samples from the 18th century pirate ship Queen Anne's Revenge for carbon dating at the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry facility. Remains of Blackbeard's flagship were found in 2001 near Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 44, No. 1, Pg. 7:
Researcher Mary Lardie flame-seals a tube, preparing to carbon-date a wood sample (right) from the pirate Blackbeard’s flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge, at the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility at WHOI. The ship ran aground offshore Beaufort, N.C., in 1718 and settled into the sands. In 1996, hurricanes and nor’easters scoured the sands away, and divers discovered the wreck, which is now the site of a long-term archaeological investigation. The NOSAMS Facility analyzes samples for researchers around the country.
