Blackbeard's ship was called the Queen Anne's Revenge as a nod to Queen Anne, who was the reigning monarch of Great Britain during the early 18th century, a time when piracy was rampant in the Caribbean. The name likely reflected both a sense of pride and a desire to invoke the image of a powerful ship associated with the crown. Originally a French slave ship named La Concorde, it was captured by Blackbeard in 1716 and rebranded to reflect his notorious reputation and ambitions as a pirate. The ship became infamous for its role in Blackbeard's exploits, symbolizing the golden age of piracy.
