Bridgetown, Barbados rebuilds with New England timber...
THE LONDON GAZETTE, England, Aug. 6, 1668
- Among the earliest of English language newspapers to be had
A front page report from "Lyme" says: "Yesterday arrived the Concord...in six weeks from Barbado's...They tell us that the Inhabitants of Bridgetown are busily employing themselves for materials for rebuilding that place, and have emploied many ships for the transportation of timber from New England."
Uncommon too fine mentions of the "New World" in 1668 newspapers.
Complete as a single sheet newspaper, 7 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
