Red Maria Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Foxe, I noticed our old friend David More (from Pirates e-list) was briefly interviewd on it.
Capt. Morgan Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 How was the QAR piece? Anything worth posting here? Can't believe I missed it...

MadMike Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 Quote- " 'We knew it the first day and we still have absolutely no doubt that she's the Queen Anne's Revenge," said Phil Masters, whose Florida-based research firm located the wreckage in 1996.

Red Maria Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Except the fact it's packing alot of gunpower and nothing found so far has been dated beyond 1718. While not a 100% it's very compelling evidence.
MadMike Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Unfortunately there are a lot of wrecks on the area- http://www.qaronline.org/history/shipwrecks.htm The QAR site notes- "The mark and name of Jon Stiles appears on the bottom of another pewter charger from the QAR. IO. STILE within a sunken cartouche is located beneath a crowned Tudor rose. The LONDON is stamped nearby, as is Stiles' name again above a bird devouring a snake. Stiles produced pewterware in London from 1689 until at least 1730." There was once an archaeologist who claimed to have "found" a Lewis and Clark campsite on the upper Missouri. His "evidence" included a gunflint, pewter tack, a wooden stake, and several firepits "arranged in a military fashion". Too bad the area had been used for thousands of years by the natives previously and by trappers and natives into the fur trade era (who built hundreds of fires in the same vicinity). The L&C party did camp in the area as evidenced by their maps, but the artifacts his party recovered after 13 years or work still proves nothing. Anyway, hopefully something more conclusive is recovered. Yours, &c.

Red Maria Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Please note that the pewter in question was produced between 1689 to 1730. Pewter marks don't give the date of manufacture. Check this site: http://www.members.aol.com/pewtrsocty/marks.htm It still have beem made during the time of the QAR. Unlike the Lewis & Clark site ther hasn't beeen anything that hasn't been dated after 1718. Yes of course the pewter could have made after 1718 but considering it is the only peice that mighthave been and might also have been made before 1718 and everything else found hat the site as been consistantly of an earlier date which would you go for? Yes still not 100% but well with the timeframe. Also please give me a wreak that would be constistant with the finds abaord this vessel.
MadMike Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 The artifacts pictured on the QAR site represent only a small portion of the thousands recovered (and hence skew the public's perceptions). It'd be unfortunate if material surfaces which shows the wreck to be of a later date (not to mention loss of revenue to the QAR project and local economy). However, that's not to say another ship was wrecked in the same vicinity with a mixed debris field, or the possibility that it's not the Concorde or Adventure- http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/QAR/project/vol2no2.htm Yours, &c.
