The FTCC Community History Lecture Series presents Dr. Linda F. Carnes-McNaughton to campus April 1 at 2 p.m. Dr. Carnes-McNaughton will speak about her book, “Blackbeard’s Sunken Prize: the 300-Year Voyage of Queen Anne’s Revenge” (UNC Press 2018, along with Mark Wilde-Ramsing, former QAR Project Director).
Dr. Carnes-McNaughton, currently the program archaeologist and curator at Fort Bragg’s Cultural Resources Management Program, spent 20 years as a volunteer researcher on the Queen Anne’s Revenge Shipwreck Project. In her lecture, she will offer an illustrated journey of the ship’s history, its use as a French privateer, then as a slave ship, and then its capture and use as a pirate flagship. The lecture will highlight 18th-century artifacts found on the famous North Carolina shipwreck.
The lecture will be held in the Tony Rand Student Center Multipurpose Room. Admission to the lecture is free.
Following her talk, Dr. Carnes-McNaughton will gladly sign copies of her book for anyone who brings one to the lecture. Copies will not be sold at this event, but you can purchase one ahead of time at https://uncpress.org or Amazon.
