Archaeologists announce find at supposed QAR site
BEAUFORT ? Ten years ago a private research firm recovered a brass bell from a shipwreck site in Beaufort Inlet believed to be the Queen Anne?s Revenge.
The bell inscription, IHS Maria, gave few clues to the ship?s identity.
State archaeologists announced Friday they found another bell on the shipwreck site that they are hoping will be the ?smoking blunderbuss? that positively links the ship and Blackbeard.
?I have all suspicion that the one that?s just recently been discovered is indeed the ship?s bell, but who knows,? said David Moore, nautical archaeologist with the N.C. Maritime Museum.
The new bell is about 8 1/2 inches tall, roughly half the height of the one found in 1996, said Sarah Watkins-Kenney, QAR Project conservator. . . . . .
