Built in 1710, this ship had the charming name of Concord (after Concordia, the ancient Roman goddess of consensus and understanding). The legendary victorious sailing ship, which was the flagship of the corsair called Edward Teach (Blackbeard) in 1717–1718, is known as "Queen Anne's Revenge". His audacity still fascinates every treasure hunter and sailing ship aficionado. Merchant vessels had no chance of escape when they encountered the Concord. In addition to cannons, the ship's armoury was full of all kinds of firearms, gunpowder, and hand grenades. A ship with full sails is a symbol of good luck and increased family prosperity.
