I have been mostly looking for references to the skull cup, but aside from the Snow skull I haven't found anything.

number 1&2 Here is another letter from Maynard telling of the account. It appears to me Maynard is talking about boarding Teach's ship which is not how the story usually is told. 2 April 1719 Weekly Journal & British Gazetteer

Number 3 is a notice of a ship taken by captain Teachy, glad that name never stuck or he would never have become so famous! January 11 1718 Weekly Journal & British Gazetteer

And number 4 is the loss of the Queen Ann's Revenge with all hands including the captain. Bet that celebration didn't last long! Grin

Aug 16 1718 Weekly Journal & British Gazetteer

And the last one from Feb 28 1719 Weekly Journal & British Gazetteer sounds like things are getting hot for pirates in the New England area.

Hello Idaho Jones

Thanks for amazing resaerch with Pdf Files.

I cannot open them I keep getting these files have been corrupted and adobe cannot open them.

Has anyone else has this trouble? Or perhaps it is my crappy old computer that long overdue for replacement. Huh?

Like having Christmas presents and no way of opening them. Angry

Perhaps its tough luck for hardluck Grin

Thanks anyway.

Hardluck

Doh! sorry guys I'll see if I can make jpgs then. The PDFs are much easier to read but most of these are small articles so hopefully you can read them.
Here is the letter from Maynard 25 April 1719
Hopefully you can read these.

Thanks Idaho Jones

The early newspapers really put into perspective the most likely events that happened.

Good read.

Glad you can read them, the only thing worse than not being able to read a file is posting a bunch of files no one can read Grin

Here are 2 more.

Glad to hear that Seldom, I was worried they were getting broken somehow.
Could be outdated version as I have version 9 at the house but acrobat has no legacy save that I can see.

Hardluck you are becoming a regular night owl

Hows the old saying? "We can sleep when we're dead." Grin

I tell myself just one more article and then I will go to bed at least 20 times a night Cheesy
