Oh my, I think Dr. Rodgers may have had a heart attack if he'd seen the previous version of this page...

I fixed the history of this section - Blackbear'd encounter with Maynard was well after he wrecked the Queen Anne's Revenge. In fact, he was killed during that encounter. I don't know enough about the early history of the ship to comment on anything in the first paragraph, but if it is as accurate as the rest of thie information in this page's previous incarnations, I'd take it with a grain of salt. I don't know of any evidence that the Concorde was built in England, though it definitely was a slave-ship. I don't know about it being captured by Hornigold or used, either.

General information about the loss of the vessel can be found in A General History of the Pyrates by Charles Johnson (sometimes attributed as Daniel Defoe). For information about the debate surrounding the identity of the wreck, see Bradley Rodgers, Nathan Richards, and Wayne Lusardi, "'Ruling Theories Linger': Questioning the Identity of the Beaufort Inlet Shipwreck," International Journal of Underwater Archaeology 34(1) (2005): 24-27.

Question, The Article in the "International Journal of Nautical Archaeology" was this in Issue 34.1; http://www.nasportsmouth.org.uk/ijna/ijna34-1.php titled "'Ruling theories linger': Questioning the identity of the Beaufort inlet shipwreck by B.A. Rodgers, N, Richards and W.R. Lusardi ?

[edit] Size of ship

The ship is described as mounting twenty guns—a lot, I think, for a pirate vessel. I have therefore deleted as gross exaggeration a short sentence which describes her as mounting forty guns. J S Ayer (talk) 05:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
