Our educational initiatives have previously included interactive webcasts that connect students and educators with archaeologists from the QAR lab. 1,265 African men, women, and children whose lives were impacted by the three slaving voyages of La Concorde. 147 captive Africans did not survive the journey. 18 Months Blackbeard spent as an active pirate.
