Hmmm makes sense then I s'pose. I guess that where the carribean came from in the first place...I never really thought about it.
So if the ship has been sunked and never found how do they know it really exsisted or if it even had that name?
I think carribean is based on more then just blackbeard....

Well, Blackbeards ship was not the Black Pearl... It was the Queen Annes Revenge. At least his main one was. It was a french ship that he captured and renamed, and there is record of it's going down. That's why they had an idea of where it sunk. That's the ship the anchor is being raised from.
Henry Morgans ship the Black Pearl.. I'm not sure what happened to it, if it was sunk or retired or what. Henry himself retired and died a sick old man in Jamaica, and his grave was lost to the sea in an earthquake shortly before 1700.
The Disney movies are based off a ride. Yep, the ride came first, then the first movie, then the ride was revamped to reflect the movie.

I wonder why they do not call him Edward Teach.

That's what I am wondering
Well, they have been harvesting artifacts from the wreckage of the Queen Annes Revenge for about 15 years. Anchor 2 is the 2200 lb one, and that one is listed as being smack dab in the middle of the wreckage. So it stands to reason that the anchor is indeed from the Queen Annes Revenge.

But does the wreckage have the name of the ship on it? Or some way of concretely identifying it as the Queen Annes Revenge?

There's British records of where/when it went down. Bunch of other historical research too.
Here's a site about it.

Wow. I had no idea they still had records going back that far. Pretty cool!
