The Queen Anne's Revenge

"This be the Queen Anne's Revenge, right enough." - Scrum

The Queen Anne's Revenge (formerly known as Concord and La Concorde de Nantes) was the legendary frigate mostly known to be captained by the notorious pirate Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. This ship, according to pirate lore, is crewed by both humans and zombies. It appears in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, as the first historical ship to appear in any of the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

History
Originally named La Concorde de Nantes, the Concorde was captured by pirate Captain Benjamin Hornigold on November 28, 1717 near the island of Martinique. Hornigold turned the ship over to one of his pirates - Edward Teach, who was later known as Blackbeard, and made him captain. Blackbeard converted La Concorde into his flagship and renamed it the Queen Anne's Revenge. By 1718, Blackbeard used his new ship to blockade Charles Town and was left aground on the ocean bar, abandoned.

Movie History
Sometime after the battle at Ocracoke Lake, Blackbeard saved the Queen Anne's Revenge and used it as his flagship during his search for the Fountain of Youth. Throughout his search, Blackbeard had more cannons and Greek fire added to his ship's weaponry. The Queen Anne's Revenge was now manned by zombies, festooned with the bones of his victims and spits fire from its bow to incinerate enemy ships, or the occasional crew member fallen out of favor.

Game Note
The Queen Anne's Revenge does NOT currently appear in Pirates of the Caribbean Online, however Blackbeard's sword, the Sword of Triton does.

With the release of the sword into the game, the developers released a riddle found on a parchment uncovered near the Sword:

"This sword holds far more power than meets the eye, for when a royal bow breaks water, ye shall know her name and that of her enslaved crew."

This might hint at Blackbeard, his ship and his crew of zombies arriving into the game.
