Rare 1776 copy of US Declaration of Independence discovered in London after 250 years

A rare copy of the Declaration of Independence, believed to have been lost for more than 250 years, has been discovered at Britain's National Archives in London, making it the only known example of its kind to survive outside the United States. The National Archives said the Declaration was among documents seized by the Royal Navy in December 1776 after British forces captured the American privateer vessel Dalton.
