Beaufort Area North Carolina Beach House Rentals

Though he only had control of the ship for little over a year, Blackbeard made a name of himself aboard the ship and fought many naval battles in the waters off of the west coast of Africa, the Caribbean and the U.S. Eastern seaboard.

Today, the wreckage of the mighty ship remains underwater, yet its influence can be found everywhere throughout the city. Families can take a walking tour to discover some of the area's pirate history, or learn the history of the Queen Anne's revenge at the Maritime Museum.

Adults, meanwhile, will enjoy the peaceful stretches of coastline that helped make Beaufort a popular tour destination long before the ship's discovery in 1996.
