Description:
It was 10 p.m., April 16, 1717, and Black Sam Bellamy and the pirate crew of the Whydah had only two hours to live. But two centuries later, the wreck of this treasure-laden pirate ship would take on new life, when a boy obsessed with lost pirate treasure pursued his dream of finding the ill-fated ship, despite nearly insurmountable challenges. Expedition Whydah tab is the true story of a doomed pirate ship and Barry Clifford's life-long quest to recover it 280 years after it sank in the Great Storm of 1717.
Expand description
Effortlessly weaving pirate Black Sam Bellamy's history with the author's own story, Expedition Whydah tells two equally enthralling tales of obsession: Bellamy's chronicle of hard work and crafty piracy and Clifford's own unbelievable quest to find the sunken ship and build a museum to house her relics. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of a long-gone era of unimaginable adventure -- and brutality -- and a look at two determined men. Spirited, and colorful, filled with illustrations and photographs of the ship, its treasure, and the team that found her, Expedition Whydah is a spell-binding book of lost -- and found -- treasure and adventure.
