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


The slave ship Whydah began her short life in London, England, in 1715. Less than two years later, now a pirate ship, she sank to the ocean floor off Cape Cod. Using artifacts recovered from the wreck – the first and only authenticated pirate shipwreck – Real Pirates reveals the true story behind this vessel—a story more compelling than anything dreamt up by Hollywood. Meet the crew of a real pirate ship that started as a slave ship—and gain insights into the violence and idealism of early eighteenth century piracy.
