Reclaiming a queen

So I had this idea during a game a few months ago and I want to hear your opinions...Due to my inexperience at the time I moved my queen and someone hunted her with a helmsman so i was eliminated..At the same time though I had a pirate targeting my captured queen...My thought is what if that pirate could reclaim the queen ?...I know that reclaiming queens would make eliminating someone more difficult but maybe it could work in certain situations...
