| Maritime Museum in Beaufort | In 1718 Blackbeard's ship, The Queen's Revenge, ran aground as it entered the inlet at Beaufort. The ship sunk. In 1996 the sunken ship was discovered and since then every October they have been recovering artifacts from the shipwreck and restoring and then placing them in the Maritime Museum. Very interesting exhibit. |
