David Moore is an American archaeologist and historian. He is best known for his work on the Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project,[1][2] named for the flagship of the pirate Blackbeard.[3]
He served as project archaeologist for the team that excavated the wreck of the slave ship, the Henrietta Marie.[4][5] In 1983 he discovered the watch bell which positively identified the shipwreck.[6] The Henrietta Marie wreck has yielded more than 7000 objects (and more than 30,000 glass beads), the largest collection of artifacts known from a slave ship. Parts making up more than 80 bilboes, which were typically used to shackle pairs of slaves together, have been found at the wreck site. Other items found at the wreck site include trade goods apparently left over from trading for captives in Africa, goods acquired in Africa in addition to captives (recovered c.half dozen elephant tusks), and gear belonging to the ship and crew.[7][8]
Moore was nautical archaeologist at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort, North Carolina.[9] He was also the Director of Archaeology and Research for Intersal, Inc., which discovered the Queen Anne's Revenge.[citation needed] He was responsible for much of the underwater mapping on the Queen Anne's Revenge wrecksite and updating the site plan.[10]
Education[edit]
Moore attended East Carolina University where he received a master's degree in Maritime History and Nautical Archaeology in 1989.[2]
Personal life[edit]
In January 2023, Moore was convicted on 16 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, after an investigation by the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation resulted in the discovery of 29 images of child-sex abuse material on a government laptop. Moore was sentenced to five to seven years in prison, and will be required to register with the N.C. Sex Offender Registry for 30 years.[11]
