A Treasure Trove Still Lost on the American Atlantic Coast

 From 1716 to 1718, the privateer Blackbeard navigated the West Indies

and Atlantic Shoreline of North America, going after ships loaded down with gold, silver, 

and different fortunes from Mexico and South America coming back to Spain.

Blackbeard is said to have wildly flaunted on about his lost gold, however he never confided in

anybody enough information to uncover the mysterious area. 

In 1718, he was at long last taken and executed. Treasure trackers have been looking

for Blackbeard's secret fortunes from that point forward, spying and searching the the

coast in any direction from Virginia's Chesapeake Straight to the Caribbean and Cayman Islands.

Not at all like Blackbeard's plunder, these extraordinary, submerged treasures have 

really been found.

The most meaningful find in the hunt for Blackbeard's treasure was the discovery of the ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, in 1996. Just twenty-five feet down near Beaufort Inlet, the wreck has been studied by marine archeologists for more than a quarter century.
