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

25 Historic Hudson Valley Estates and Mansions With Remarkable Stories

The Hudson Valley has been home to some of New York’s most remarkable country houses for more than three centuries. Long before the Gilded Age brought railroad fortunes, elaborate gardens, and grand weekend retreats to the river, colonial landowning families were establishing farms, trading centers, and estates along its banks. The Hudson was both a transportation route and a source of wealth. Land, agriculture, river commerce, and the labor of enslaved people and tenant farmers helped sustain the households that later became known for their imposing mansions.
