Before Hollywood Took Over, This New Jersey Town Was Making Movies And Inventing The Cliffhanger

Centuries-old loot linked to ‘King of the Pirates’ discovered — with a shocking NYC connection

A newly unearthed treasure trove of pirate history has now been found to have New York roots. A peaceful Rhode Island fruit orchard was secretly hiding a centuries-old piece of history — until amateur treasure hunter James Bailey unexpectedly struck gold. Bailey isn’t a professional historian, but he has an uncanny knack for unearthing the past. Sweeping his metal detector across the dirt, he picked up a signal that led to a rare coin tied to a famous New Yorker — and a legendary pirate. The artifact turned out to be a 17th-century Arabian coin once pocketed by English pirate Captain Henry Every, who famously escaped to the American colonies after pulling off a brutal high-seas heist in the Red Sea. James Bailey discovered a centuries-old coin thought to be loot from the “King of the Pirates.” The Trustees of the British Museum Bailey told the Associated Press he was stunned when he dug out the dime-sized silver coin stamped with Arabic lettering. He believes it was minted in Yemen in 1693 before Captain Every carried it across the Atlantic. The bizarre and hilarious chaos on cruise ships exposed — including pirates, pot, and polar bears Every cemented his status

The Day the Sky Turned Black: The 1934 Dust Bowl Clouds Over Manhattan

On May 11, 1934, New Yorkers looked up and saw something that did not belong in the Manhattan sky. A strange gray haze spread over the city, dimming the spring sunshine and making familiar landmarks difficult to see. Streetlights came on in the middle of the day. From the observation deck of the Empire State Building, visitors could no longer make out Central Park. The material drifting through the streets had not come from a local fire or an industrial smokestack. It was soil from the Great Plains, carried more than a thousand miles by the wind.

Reconstruction of Chinatown’s historic 70 Mulberry Street begins nearly seven years after fire

Nearly seven years after a fire severely damaged a historic community building in Chinatown, city officials on Monday broke ground on a new structure set to replace it. In January 2020, a five-alarm fire broke out on the top floor of 70 Mulberry Street, a 19th-century former public school building that housed several nonprofit groups, damaging much of the building and displacing its tenants. Designed by Grimshaw Architects, the project rebuilds the facility as an eight-story cultural hub with more space for the public and a new art installation by Jennifer Wen Ma.
