Their careful preservation and analysis of the remains — including cannons, guns, anchors, even gold — are helping to solve the biggest mystery about the infamous pirate’s reign: Was the ship’s sinking an accident or was the grounding a carefully laid plot by Blackbeard to double-cross his men and steal the treasure for himself?
