Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah, From Slave Ship to Pirate Ship

Built to transport human captives from Africa to the Caribbean, the Whydah made one such voyage before being captured in 1717 by Sam Bellamy, the boldest pirate of his day. Two months later, in one of the worst storms ever in the western North Atlantic Ocean, the ship sank. It drowned all but two of the 146 people aboard. Now, for the first time, its treasure holds are unlocked for public view. For anyone intrigued by the lore of piracy, the mystery of shipwrecks, or the sad and salty intertwining of slave and pirate history, Real Pirates has the answers.
