Captain Prince had completed the sale of slaves brought from Africa to the Caribbean and had turned the Whydah toward England laden with riches when his ship was overtaken by one of the most successful pirates of the time. Black Sam Bellamy sought not only fortune but a ship with a large capacity to carry it. He used the Whydah as his flagship and loaded it to the gunnels with loot from vessels plundered along the East Coast of America. But on a stormy night in 1717, the Whydah ran aground on a sandbar off Cape Cod and sank. Cape Codders salvaged what washed ashore. The governor of Massachusetts sent his best man to look for the rest -- but nothing could be found. It wasn't until 1984 that marine archaeologists found the wreck and its treasure of old and priceless artifacts, as well as a wealth of historical evidence that changed much of what we thought about pirates. 521 $a 1270L $b Lexile. 586 $a School Library Journal's Best Books, 2017 586 $a NCTE Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children Recommended Book, 2018 586 $a YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Finalist, 2018 610 20 $a Whidah (Ship) 650 1 $a Pirates $z Caribbean Area $x History $y 18th century. 650 1 $a Buccaneers $x History $y 18th century. 650 1 $a Slave trade $x History $y 18th century. 650 1 $a Shipwrecks $z Cape Cod. $z Cape Cod. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20190709011032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB962B3EA20E11E9A917B02197128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
