Funding



The protection, preservation, and development of Queen Anne's Revenge will be costly. Major excavation cannot proceed without the construction of a conservation laboratory, and a large funding appropriation is therefore needed. The state of North Carolina and local governments in the Cape Lookout region should be expected to take the lead in raising funds, since economic returns through public awareness and tourism will benefit them the most. A tremendous amount of money may also be available from other funding sources, because of the high visibility of the Queen Anne's Revenge project. A good example of the potential for raising money can be seen with the accomplishments of the USS North Carolina Battleship Foundation, which has raised millions through public and corporate sponsorship to restore and maintain the historic ship. The Friends of the Museum, North Carolina Maritime Museum, Inc. has already shown its effectiveness by raising funds needed to purchase the property at Gallants Channel. Since much of the initial costs for Queen Anne's Revenge will involve scientific research, federal- and university-sponsored grants may partly fund work in the field and laboratory. A comprehensive fund-raising program needs to be implemented within the framework of the Queen Anne's Revenge project to help sustain it and ensure the highest degree of success.
