The Queen's Report Update from the Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project Volume 1, Number 1, February 2001
The Queen's Report Update from the Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project Volume 1, Number 1, February 2001 Exploring Blackbeard's Cannon - Cannon C-4 measures five feet, six inches long, weighs 763 pounds, and is the third of five recovered so far from the wreck of Queen Anne's Revenge (QAR) It came up on October 12, 1998 with a four-pound cast iron shot ball stuck in its throat. Divers brought it up early because it was a different size from the others, and had interesting elements attached to it. From some angles, it appeared to be a big lizard with a funny looking rod and ring sticking out of one end. The four-pound shot was sandwiched in the bore between two wads of cordage, a typical practice for early 18th century ships' cannon. Cordage consisted of heavy towing rope, lines, or fiber from a ship's rigging. The outer wad held the shot in place while the ship was at sea, and the inner wad was used to create a seal between gunpowder charge and shot. Project Conservator Wayne Lusardi, found stitched paper powder cartridge in the bore. In short, C-4 was armed and ready to fire when the ship went down. Kim Eslinger is a QAR intern and a graduate student in Maritime Studies at East Carolina University. Her task is to remove artifacts that may be in the "interesting elements", or concretion, a heavy layer of debris, mostly sand and shells, bonded by a lengthy rusting process. Careful separation of its contents has so far yielded a tiny gold-plated silver spangle, glass fragments, pig bones, nails, and musket parts.

Literature of the Low Countries
Literature of the Low Countries A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium Reinder P. Meijer bron Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries. A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.
