Abstract

Coal associated with site 31CR314, Queen Anne’s Revenge/La Concorde (1718) was investigated to identify a possible source. The coal ranges from low volatile bituminous, through anthracite, to meta-anthracite. Although the eastern US anthracite sources were not known at that time, several sources, including coalfields in Ireland and Portugal, match some of the coal ranks from the shipwreck. The wreck lies near Beaufort, North Carolina, where a coaling station was built by the United States Navy during the American Civil War. Pennsylvania anthracite was an important resource by the 1860s, making it a logical source of the coal from site 31CR314.
