Blackbeard's facial hair wasn't the only thing the infamous pirate liked big.
Archaeologists on Friday recovered one of three giant anchors believed to be used by the 18th-century high seas bandit on his ship, Queen Anne's Revenge.
The 11-foot, 4-inch long anchor, weighing 3,ooo pounds, was pulled from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina.
Scientists hoped to raise the ship's other two anchors, but they are stuck to the sunken ship.
