The Quest to Recover an English Pirate Ship and its Lost Treasure
British sea captain Black Sam Bellamy and his band of pirates terrorised the high seas, looting gold from more than fifty ships and loading it onto his flagship, the "Whydah", before losing one last furious battle with the elements and sinking off the coast of Cape Cod in the Great Storm of 1717.
Over two centuries later, underwater explorer Barry Clifford resolved to salvage the sunken wreck and its plunder. After more than fifteen years of searching, Clifford and his team of divers struck gold.
This is a book of sea adventure, history and underwater archaeology but it is also a tale of two men separated by time yet united by a common obsession.
