Queen Anne's Revenge

I keep changing the name of my hypothetical spaceship. Nervous Energy is a goodie from Iain M. Bank's Culture series. Endeavour has an aura of an heroic age of science and discovery so that works too. Now that I have been reminded of Blackbeard's flagship I can say my hypothetical spaceship has been definitively christened. There is some neat stuff here about a storm-cycle that buried the wreck keeping it relatively well preserved until now.

Sea currents have tossed around pirate Blackbeard's flagship for nearly 300 years. But now the game is getting treacherous for the sunken Queen Anne's Revenge, according to research conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.
