(마이애미 AFP=연합뉴스) 미국 고고학자들이 18세기 초 카리브 해를 주름잡은 전설적 해적의 난파선에서 대형 포(砲) 5대를 발굴했다고 노스캐롤라이나주 주 정부 가 30일(현지시간) 밝혔다.
노스캐롤라이나주 문화자원부 산하 발굴팀은 동부 보퍼트만 인근 해역에 가라앉은 해적선 '앤 여왕의 복수'(Queen Anne's Revenge)호 잔해에서 지난 28일 대포 5대를 인양했다.
앤 여왕의 복수호는 영국 태생의 유명 해적 에드워드 티치의 것으로, 선체가 지난 1996년 발견됐다.
'검은 수염'(Blackbeard)이라는 별명으로 더 유명한 티치는 18세기 초 카리브 해 일대를 지나는 선원들을 공포에 떨게 한 것으로 악명이 높다.
할리우드 영화 '캐리비안의 해적 - 낯선 조류'에 등장하는 동명 캐릭터의 실제 모델이기도 하다.
이 배는 지난 1718년 6월 노스캐롤라이나주 앞바다 약 3.2km 지점에서 누군가에 의해 침몰, 해저 약 7.6m 깊이에 가라앉았다고 알려졌다. 티치는 6개월 뒤 영국군과의 전투에서 사망했다.
미국 해안경비대와 공동으로 해저발굴 작업을 진행해온 노스캐롤라이나주 당국은 이제까지 침몰 현장에서 유물 28만 점을 회수했다.
이번에 건져 올린 대포 5대 가운데 4대는 무게가 900∼1천360kg에 이른다. 프로젝트를 이끄는 빌리 레이 모리스 팀장은 기존에 발굴한 대형 포들을 토대로 볼 때 가장 규모가 큰 대포는 스웨덴제로 추정된다고 밝혔다.
주 당국은 이번 작업을 끝으로 올해 발굴을 일단 마무리했다. 전체 발굴작업은 내년에 완료할 예정이다.

Archeologists find booty from pirate Blackbeard's ship
Five large cannons from a sunken ship captained by the legendary pirate Blackbeard have been recovered by US archeologists, authorities said Wednesday.
The cannons were raised from the wreck of the Queen Anne's Revenge, sunk off the coast of North Carolina, on Monday, state officials said.
The cannons, four of which weighed between 900 and 1,360 kilos (2000 to 3000 pounds), were excavated by a team attached to the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources.
Project Director Billy Ray Morris said the largest of the cannons was believed to have been made in Sweden.
"We think the largest of the four cannons may be of Swedish origin since the only other recovered gun this size was made in Sweden," Morris said.
"We also hope to recover two large concretions," he said, referring to compact masses of sedimentary rock, each of which, Morris said, is about "the size of a twin bed."
"They may contain barrel hoops, cannon balls and other treasures," he said. Authorities in North Carolina have so far recovered an estimated 280,000 artifacts from the site.
The recovery operation is expected to be completed in 2014.
Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach, achieved infamy during the early part of the 18th century when he terrorized Atlantic seafarers around the Caribbean and the American colonies.
The Queen Anne's Revenge, which was discovered in 1996, was intentionally run aground in 1718.
Blackbeard was killed in a battle with British forces later that year. (AFP)
