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

Review & setlist: Journey soldiers into Boston before (allegedly) going their separate ways

The Final Frontier Tour is supposedly the band's last after 53 years and many personnel changes. Journey at TD Garden, Boston, Nov. 10, 2026. Journey made music meant to be heard in three contexts: behind the bedroom door of a teenager whose parents disapprove of rock music, blasting through the rolled-down windows of a secondhand Z28, and in arenas. With the band’s core fanbase too old for the first and (probably) too responsible for the second, that left the last option on Tuesday, as the veteran band brought its Final Frontier Tour to the TD Garden.

Pilgrims and Puritans: Who really shaped Thanksgiving?

This story was updated to fix a spelling error and add information. Wondering the difference between Pilgrims and Puritans? Many New Englanders know the story of the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth , but with both the Pilgrims and Puritans establishing colonies in Massachusetts, it can be easy to mix up which group the holiday originated with. Here's what to know about the key differences between the Pilgrims and the Puritans. Puritans vs. Pilgrims After King Henry VIII declared himself head of the new Church of England in 1534, the Puritans emerged as a group of people who wanted to return to practicing religion in the way early Christians did. The Puritans believed in reforming, or "purifying," the Church of England from within, says the Plimoth Patuxet Museum . The Pilgrims emerged from a more radical group known as Separatists, who believed in forming new, separate church congregations outside of the Church of England. The Separatist church congregation that came to be known as the Pilgrims was from the town of Scrooby in Nottinghamshire, England. More: The first Thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts. Here's where Where did the Pilgrims settle? After a dozen years spent in the Netherlands for religious freedom,
