Queen Anne's Revenge is at the final stages of being rigged. She will have a combination of set and furled sail. Some details such as anchors are also to be added still.
Given that she is my interpretation of the sparse data available, I feel she fairly accurately depicts a French vessel of around 1710 and Blackbeard my just have taken a liking to her.
The ramhead blocks holding up the lower yards can be seen in the image above. She will still carry a large lateen sail on the mizzen mast, belaying is on racks and rails. The image below shows her with all her standing rigging before the yards were added.
