Interesting. Thanks for the link.
Cool. We've visited the pirate museum in Provincetown a couple times. The story of Whydah of the chronicles of her discovery are fascinating. There are some really incredible items from the wreck on exhibit. Thanks for sharing.

That book is a prime example of how a "treasure" salvor can contribute more knowledge about history then any of the underwater anthropologists (did you read Daniel Lenihans useless book?). Glad to see they are still gleaning historical knowledge from that wreck. What I found interesting about pirate life from that book was how pirate society was a democracy, whereas the commercial and naval ships were often ran by ruthless tyrants. This was one of the main draws for commerical sailors to join the pirates when their ships were raided.

don't mention Jack Sparrow???
not a true story

That's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow, if you please.
Thanks for the interesting info. I read a book about the Whydah years ago. "Treasure Wreck - The Fortunes and Fate of the Pirate Ship Whydah" by Arthur T. Vanderbilt II. ISBN is 0-395-39975-0, published in 1986.
