As the Queen Anne's Revenge predecessor a sloop closed on the former slave ship Sultana, the sneaky captain of Blackbeard's target had sailors with hidden swivel guns who now levelled these mini cannons at Blackbeard's ship. Too bad that Edward Teach (Blackbeard) had not snuck a snitch to act as mole in Lawrence Prince's crew on the Sultana. The volley from these swivel guns did not abate and created a plume of smoke emanating from the lower decks. Blackbeard retreated from this battle to fight another day against "Black Sam" Bellamy and his pirate friends.
