REAL PIRATES EXHIBIT AT THE SAN DIEGO NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

SDNHM : REAL PIRATES


"The year was 1717. Valuable cargos were being shipped across the Atlantic. Piracy was at an all-time high. Sam Bellamy and his fearsome flotilla had just captured the slave ship Whydah on her way to England, laden with gold and silver. But before the crew had a chance to divvy up the abundant spoils, a storm would send the ship, its treasure, and 143 men to the bottom of the sea. Discover the perils and privileges of 18th century pirate life as you explore more than 200 authentic artifacts recovered from her wreck."

Siren here!  I'm hoping to see this before summer's end.  It sounds exciting.  The ship sunk off Cape Cod.  I want to learn more about  the Golden Age of Piracy
