June 22, 2007: Historic Document Lost from Canada
"A rare piece of Canadian history was lost to the country yesterday after an auction in New York, where an elaborately hand-written, 385-year-old legal document - described as the contract for 'Canada's Mayflower' - was sold for $90,000 by a Canadian collector to an American antiquities dealer, who then flipped the relic to a second private buyer in the U.S."
