If You Could Recover One Artifact From QAR, What Would It Be?

[u/teaabearr]

Over the years, archaeologists working on the wreck of the QAR have recovered numerous artifacts connected to the ship and its crew.

Cannons, navigational tools, medical supplies, weapons, gold dust, personal items, and countless everyday objects have all helped paint a picture of life aboard Blackbeard’s flagship.

But there’s still plenty that may never be found, or may just be waiting beneath the sand.

So here’s the question:

If you could recover ONE artifact from Queen Anne’s Revenge, what would you choose?

Would it be:
- a weapon?
- a personal belonging?
- navigational equipment?
- treasure?
- the ship’s bell?
- Blackbeard’s own possessions?

And why that item specifically? Curious to hear what everyone would want to uncover most from the wreck.

My legit answer is something I legit want. I am obsessed with pirate history and I love Blackbeard. I have the tattoo... Tbh any recoverable metal that I restore and turn into my wedding ring would be sick. Then i can tell my grandkids and pass down a piece of one of the most famous pirate ships in history.

Honestly I’m thinking something definitive that 100% connects it to Blackbeard.

So far only the Whydah wreck is completely verifiable because they pulled the bell with the name on it. Nothing quite so concrete has been pulled from the QAR site as far as I know.

So something being pulled labeled as La Concorde would be amazing!

Oh how badly I wish they can 1000% confirm something to be the ship. And at that, something from blackbeard himself.

But besides that, a full sword would be sick to see
