More of Letter 211, of which Tar-Elenion alreay quoted a part:
Quote:
|
Ar-Pharazôn, as told in the 'Downfall' or Akallabêth conquered a terrified Sauron's subjects, not Sauron. Sauron's personal surrender was voluntary and cunning: he got free transport to Númenor! He naturally had the One Ring, and so very soon dominated the wills of most Númenoreans. (I do not think Ar-Pharazôn knew anything about the One Ring...)

So yes, Sauron did have the Ring with him on Numenor.
