Queen Anne's Revenge

Blackbeard, the pirate, captured her
Near the island of Martinique,
Renamed Queen Anne's Revenge - unsure
Why - Blackbeard was mum so to speak.
To the Caribbean she sailed,
Blackbeard's flagship, she led the way.
Many a merchant ship assailed.
Queen Anne's Revenge was make'em pay.
Near North Carolina, off shore,
Blackbeard to her no longer bound.
Her usefulness to him no more.
He purposely ran her aground.

Dumping her is often his plan.
What can one expect of a man!
