The Golden Age of Piracy lasted roughly from 1680 to 1725, during the final years of the Age of Sail. Across the world’s oceans, countless ships were captured, sunk, or lost to history.
Yet two legendary ships have survived in our imagination for centuries: Queen Anne’s Revenge and The Black Pearl.
One was a real pirate flagship commanded by Blackbeard. The other became an icon of adventure through Pirates of the Caribbean. Today, cubertime brings both legendary pirate ships to your desk as detailed building block models.
Queen Anne’s Revenge: Blackbeard’s Legendary Flagship
Few pirates are as famous as Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard.
In November 1717, Blackbeard captured the French armed merchant ship La Concorde near Martinique. He transformed it into his flagship, equipped it with as many as 40 cannons, and renamed it Queen Anne’s Revenge.
The ship quickly became a symbol of pirate power. Blackbeard used it to raid ships across the Caribbean and North American coast. In 1718, he even blockaded the port of Charleston, South Carolina.
Later that year, Queen Anne’s Revenge ran aground near Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina. Blackbeard was killed in battle with the Royal Navy several months later.
More than 300 years after the ship disappeared, archaeologists discovered its wreck off the coast of North Carolina, bringing one of history’s most famous pirate ships back into the spotlight.

The Black Pearl: A Pirate Ship Born from Legend
If Queen Anne’s Revenge belongs to history, The Black Pearl belongs to popular culture.
The Black Pearl is the iconic ship of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Recognized by its dark hull, dramatic sails, and legendary speed, it has become one of the most famous fictional pirate ships ever created.
In the story, the ship was originally the Wicked Wench, a merchant vessel connected to the East India Trading Company. After being destroyed and sunk, it was raised from the depths by Jack Sparrow and transformed into the legendary Black Pearl.
