Yesterday we drove over to Beaufort to catch a glimpse of the cannon that was raised from Beaufort Inlet. The theory is that it is from the Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard's ship, which was lost in 1718.
There's more info at the Queen Anne's Revenge site (broken link).
It's been an interesting week on the
coast from
Jackie Gore, the father of Beach Music, at the
Mullet Festival to a cannon which has been on the sea floor for almost 300 years.
