Queen Anne's Revenge was an early-18th-century ship,most famously used as a flagship by Edward Teach,better known by his nickname Blackbeard. The date and place of the ship's construction are uncertain,and there is no record of its actions prior to 1710 when it was operating as a French privateer under the name La Concorde. Surviving features of the ship's construction strongly suggest it was built by French shipwrights,based on differences in fastening patterns in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. After several years of service by French sailors,she was captured by Blackbeard in 1717. Blackbeard used the ship for less than a year,but captured numerous prizes using her as his flagship.
