'Pirate ship' hand grenade discovered near 17th-century wreck site



A gunpowder-filled hand grenade from the wreck of a former pirate ship has washed ashore on a remote U.K. beach. The heavily-encrusted grenades are from the wreck of the Schiedam, a former pirate ship that was being used to transport cargo by the Royal Navy. Local historian and author Robert Felce told Fox News that he found the hand grenade in late November at Dollar Cove on Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula.
