    Currents in the area were not strong enough to inhibit work, visibility was fair, and most materials were in relatively close proximity. Only when deeper excavation was undergone did the project prove to be slightly more difficult due an influx of sand deposition. An estimated 300,000 artifacts ranging from 2000-pound cannons, to the smallest speck of gold were discovered. Following excavation, attention moved to the recovery and conservation of artifacts from the site. It was still unknown at that time if the wreck was indeed the Queen Anne’s Revenge, although the massive size of the ship, and well-stocked armory of at least 24 iron cannons were fitting of the description of Blackbeard’s flagship.…

    Thomas Jefferson was, for worse or for better, a man of the peace. Known for his somewhat radical idea that “If there be one principle more deeply rooted than any other in the mind of every American, it is, that we should have nothing to do with conquest.” In 1823, President Jefferson condemned “the atrocious violations of the rights of nations, by the interference of any-one in the internal affairs of another.” This was a new concept of thinking for the time.
