About this episode

In 1717, a former slave ship was captured by the most dangerous man on the high seas. For the next 9 months she would be used to make history, chaos, and profit, before deliberately sinking at the hands of her captain Edward Teach, a man most people knew as Blackbeard. This is Queen Anne’s Revenge.
