Summary

"The Wayduh started its life as a slave ship. Launched in 1716 for use in the Triangular Trade, it had been divested of its human cargo in the Caribbean and was laden with riches for the return to England when it was taken by pirates. Black Sam Bellamy, one of the most successful pirates of the time, made the Whydah his flagship and loaded it with loot from vessels plundered along the East Coast of America -- until one stormy night in 1717, when it sank off Cape Cod. Locals salvaged what washed ashore and the governor of Massachusetts sent his best man to look for the rest, but nothing was found until 1984, when marine archaeologists located the wreck and its treasure."--, Provided by publisher
