Known as Blackbeard's ship, the wreck is located off of North Carolina. Mary Lardie working with the samples.
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.
