What started as a slave ship in the late 1600’s, the Whydah was eventually captured by pirate Captain Sam Bellamy to hold the massive amount of loot he had gained. Trained by the same guy that trained Blackbeard, Bellamy sailed around America and was hailed the most successful pirate captain in the short amount of time he sailed the seas. A change of plans on his last voyage resulted in his death and one heck of a shipwreck. Besides the treasures onboard, discovered items tell a different tale of the pirates we thought were crude and course. This book is full of information about pirate creed, flags and customs as well as sailing and history.
