Conservators working on the wreckage of Queen Anne’s Revenge, Blackbeard’s flagship, found 16 tiny fragments of paper "in a mess of wet sludge" from a cannon. After conservation, they have managed to determine that those fragments with words still visible on them came from Captain Edward Cooke, A voyage to the South Sea, and round the world, perform’d in the years 1708, 1709, 1710 and 1711 (1712).

I think that a library site that observes 'International Talk Like a Pirate Day' probably ought to have a pirate legacy library, even if it does only contain one book.

And finally, if the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster celebrates anniversaries, I hope the Pastafarians have noticed that this year includes the 300th anniversary of Edward Teach's death, 22 November 1718.

Perhaps a combined Pirate Ship Legacy Library? Though that would depart from convention, I think, in combining libraries into a single Legacy Library.

For that matter, I don't know if there are reliable book listings from any other pirate ship, so perhaps the suggestion is moot.

Ah, why not, why not.

I'll have to Legacify it later, but the book's in, anyway.
