Sixteen paper fragments - inside a cannon barrel - survived 278 years underwater

A conservation specialist reached into a water‑logged cannon in January 2018 and pulled out sixteen printed paper fragments that had been used as wadding and remained inside the barrel for 278 years. The cannon belonged to the Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard's flagship, and the torn book pages raise a single haunting question: who tore pages from a published book and loaded them into a gun in 1718?
In this episode, you will hear the ship's layered history from its build around 1710 through service under privateers, use as a slave ship, capture by Edward Teach on November 28, 1717, and final grounding on June 10, 1718 - and how those sixteen fragments complicate the material record. What can three centuries of saltwater preservation tell us about a nameless act aboard a notorious pirate ship?

Event: Capture of the ship near Martinique on November 28, 1717
Date: Grounding on June 10, 1718
Location: Topsail Inlet (now Carteret County, North Carolina)
