Field Museum, Chicago will present an exhibition named ‘Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship’ running from February 25 to October 25, 2009.
Sail with legendary pirate Sam Bellamy and his crew and learn the true story of the Whydah, from her historic transformation from slave ship to pirate ship to her final resting place on the ocean floor. One of the most advanced ships of her day, the Whydah sank in a storm in 1717 with bounty from over 50 captured ships.
Explore over 200 artifacts, including cannons, swords, coins, gold and jewelry, recovered off the coast of Cape Cod from the first authenticated pirate ship discovered in U.S. waters. Continue the discovery with Real Pirates, only at The Field Museum.
