The UK National Archives has unveiled a rare 1776 printing of the U.S. Declaration of Independence discovered among the papers of a captured American privateer. One of only 11 known Exeter printings, the document was printed just days after the Declaration was signed and is the only known copy outside the United States. Researchers say its discovery offers new insight into how America's founding ideals were shared with sailors fighting during the Revolutionary War.
