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

Pete Thomas of GrindTV.com covers underwater photographer Daniel Botelho, who has captured some wonderful images of GIANT fish called Mola Mola, a sunfish, off the coast of San Diego, California, in the Pacific.
"The sunfish can measure 14 feet and weigh as much as 5,000 pounds. They're found in tropical and temperate oceans. With their large bodies, truncated tails, tiny mouths, and huge eyes, they look like something not entirely whole and not of this world"
