Queen Anne's Revenge Embraces More than Pirate Historynew
If you haven't been to Queen Anne's Revenge recently you've missed some significant changes. Yes, it's still a pirate-themed restaurant named after one of Blackbeard's ships, and the dining area remain largely unchanged with rough-hewn tables hanging by chains from the ceiling and swords and other pirate relics lining the entryway.
