Queen Anne's Revenge nearing completion.

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.

Some of her forward deck details are shown below, including her belfry and bowsprit.
 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.
