I read a book called Expedition Whydah. It was an amazing read. I'd encourage anyone with an interest in pirate lore, adventure, or even history to read it. Makes me want to see the museum.

Definitely go to the museum if you can.

I got to see this when it was at the cinncinati zoo. The first thing they show after the opening movie was the ships bell. I tell ya. that was the most awe inspiring moment. In sheer blackness, a single blue glow came to be and in the middle was that ell. I loved it.

It was indeed spectacular.

I’ve heard about the whydah 3 years ago. It was so much articles about it. I learned it from school 🏫

This is the official NationalGeographic channel - they have permission, no doubt.

I didn't know this, thanks for the tip. The country that owns it gets it back, wow! Wonder if pirates have their own island unknown to the world... wouldn't that be awesome. LOL: ) Ruben ; just another nature lover.

k6yardotcom aka k6yarfilms well to be fair Nassau used to be a pirate haven, north or south carolina was becoming one from Blackbeard gaining favor with the governor, Louisiana was becoming one with jean laffite owning and operating a bar there, there were a few places in the south china seas that were notorious haunts like singapore, but other than that not likely that is more or less some black lagoon stuff with an island of pirates, smugglers, cartels, and other syndicates whom named it Roanapur

wow! what a really romantic find id love this I am so happy for this man

he wrote a book called Expedition Whydah. its amazing. easy read and highly recommended.

It is also available on audiobook read by Barry, which is really good. He has two other AMAZING books: RETURN TO TREASURE ISLAND which is the true Indiana-Jones-ish story of his discovery of five famous pirate ships in Madagascar, and THE LOST FLEET which tells shocking history about his discovery of the French Fleet that was wrecked at Las Avis near Aruba in the last battle of the Buccaneers before the start of the Golden Age of Piracy. I also HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the book MASTER OF THE SWEET TRADE which is the extremely accurate historic novel about Sam Bellamy & the Whydah by Elizabeth Moison who worked very carefully with Barry Clifford's late Expedition Whydah historian Ken Kinkor (whom I succeeded, but could never replace).

seeing the artifacts from this ship wreak was amazing and kinda sad as well. The Arizona Science Museum has them right now... it is a great things to see.

Because the people on that ship when it went down were all free men. There wasn't any slaves on board. When the pirates took the shop from the slavers, they freed everyone. Seeing the artifacts was sad because of how many people died on that ship.

Wow great...

When you mentioned Bellamy, it reminded me of One Piece =p

it's all his loot. nothing went to museums. except for the ones he built.there was also years of legal disputes and protecting his loot wasn't easy. he would make speeches about the whydah and then get funded by the people that bought in to his story. jfk jr walter cronkite ect. jfk jr also dove on the wreck and was quite involved in recovering artifacts. the guys name is barry clifford. he wrote an amazing book about it. its called Expedition Whydah. i highly recommend it.

very cool

Very cool, Im jealous. I would love to have that job

Saw the history about whydah from Julius Manuel Channel ❤️

I have no idea, this channel is from National Geographics!

THis is a Cool video

I hope so.

“Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!”

cool story

cool

Reminds me off a movie which was filmed in my country. lol

Thanks, now I know.

Did they have to do battle with the Sate for possession of the artifacts?

AAAAARGH!

It was actually Robert Louis Stevenson (Treasure Island) who first wrote & gave the current perception of pirates; eye patch, wooden leg, parrots etc.

now you can see some stuff from the ship at the arizoa science museum

mrclifferd i got hisautograph and i met him at the arizona science musem

Actually, this could have been in 4 or 5 parts each 10 minutes long, like any other similar documentaries. I wonder this one is a "teaser" in order to advertise the real video already made!

@AceLockCo really i always thought they lost an eye and thats why the used eyepatches

@AceLockCo and also people did get hurt even lose their eyes, since they weren't very popular and there were many fights going on

I was questioning the same thing. However, i would make sense that he gave the looted treasure to museums or some historical facilities since National Geographic's documenting this event. Well depends how far he went to find it, If it's a certain distances away from the shore than he'll be able to claim ownership. Otherwise it's property of the country's.

If anyone would like to visit the Whydah Pirate Museum the only location is In West Yarmouth, Cape Cod

@Amontanea It was just folklore on and around Cape Cod since it crashed but I'm assuming that the more time passed the less people believed it was real.

plus scary o-O

look at the man! hes trying so hard not to cry. FAKE smile!

That's what I was afraid of.

it is.

@AceLockCo That is actually are Myth, and an untrue one for sure.

Do they actually get to keep the treasure?

The story of Bellamy and Maria Hallett is so romantic and sad, look it up...*sigh*

who filmed this (director??)

What's going to happen to all the artifacts (pistols, dinnerware, doubloons, etc) that they recovered from the shipwreck?

in the states atleast i believe finders keepers.. i often wonder - if i got a pot of ancient gold coins.. who would i sell it to :-)ebay?

Who owns this found treasure? What if someone else encroaches on this guy's find? Is this man an archaeologist funded by some public entity or is he privately engaged in this discovery? Did he have to give up the 'loot' to museums, or did he do that to preserve the history of the treasure and hopefully piece together things about the Whydah?

A small token percentage goes to the country where you find the treasure. The Majority is yours, I think its tax free too.

What do i get if i join yur pirate adventure??? R u thinking what im thinking? hehehe XD

so sad there’s no decent documentary on the Whydah, i mean a real documentary

Where does the uncle know the story from

So, technically, it's still English? Being a ship built in England, with an English Captain, followed by an English Pirate?

@roxas666777 Well, you need two eyes to provide your brain with enough information to triangulate Distances for you. With only one eye, you loode what is neccessary to seize the lines, to fight with a sword, or pistol etc. The Benefit would occur so incredibly rarely, that you simply overwhelmingly outweigth the "benefits". The reason why Pirates, as Seamen in general, wore Eyepatches more frequently than other Folks, is that some of the early Instruments for the Navigation required you

if the pirates are still exists i will be the king of the pirates and i will conquer the whole wide world!!!

NO. PIRATES HAVE DREAMS!!

really Akina? Enjoy your scurvy :D

what? i thought ninjas were the frontline army of a king.. like the elite soldiers.. they are not like pirates who attack 'civilian' ships and ransack and do whatever they want

Opportunity to see how pirates really lived and die? Seriously? Not because you want to steal the loot and sell them?

@AceLockCo With one eye you don't have depth perception. And that's not something you want to sacrifice. Certainly not if you have to fight.

I dislike cake, so I'm a confirmed Pie Rat.

I'll join ya hell good girls rarly make history! right. lol

"we actually have the opportunity to dress up like pirates"

Arr❤😂

HAHA! i love u guys x] i would have to think of a kickass bone chilling name dont i? LOL but emm. isnt being a pirate illegal or somthing? idr

woah that was really good LMAO

ok debbie downer

cocaine?

They make this quest for this pirate ship to be romantic. However, it is not a pirate ship, the ship Whydah is a slave ship named after the people enslaved name the Whydahs in the city of Whydah which was later turned into a major slave port in W. Africa. Whydah is the decrepit name for Judah. So this particular people in W. Africa were authentic Jews different from the other African people who are now in the Americas. The ship whydah docked in Georgia in the 1700s. I have many 16th/17th century books that reference this but people don't wanta know the truth written by their own historians

You are out of your mind. FIRST of all, the Kingdom of Whydah was NOT Jewish in ANY SENSE of the term - it had over two dozen spellings of the name (based on the FOREIGN pronunciation and spelling), such as Xweda, Whidah, Glexwe, Ajuda, and Juidah (which did NOT mean the Hebrew Judah!), and it's official local spelling is Ouidah! The kingdom of Whydah, ruled by the warrior king Haffon, was named for the Whydah Bird of Paradise, and the word itself is from the African Wolof dialect and means in essence GOOD LUCK. So you can bury your crackpot theory. SECONDLY, the Whydah Gally was a CARGO ship captained by Lawrence Prince; AMONG the cargo was about 360 African sold to him by King Haffon to sell in the Caribbean. The ship was captured by the pirate Samuel Bellamy and his crew who opposed slavery as a crime against humanity, and a full 1/3rd of Bellamy's crew of 180 men were AFRICANS - including their ELECTED quartermaster Hendrick Quintor! These pirates declared independence against the monarchies and lived by a strict Constitutional Republic government in which all members were absolutely equal. The Whydah might have carried slaves on its maiden voyage, but it became a ship of freedom AND MUST BE CELEBRATED AS SUCH!!!

To clear things up, the Whydah was indeed a slave ship however it was captured by Black Sam Bellamy. Additionally, in my opinion Black Sam is the most romantic real pirate. He was actually something of a revolutionary who strongly believed in democracy even when he disagreed with its results. www.goldenageofpiracy.org/infamous-pirates/samuel-bellamy.php

WHAT IF Pirate is still here? i think the battleship will destroy the pirate ship :P

Captain Jack Sparrow has NOTHING against Black Sam Bellamy. Calaco Jack and Blackbeard can kick Sparrow's ass. Learn you some bout the real pirates. And to Cookie, I can only name two girl pirates off hand. Anne Bonnay and Mary Reede.

ebay, hehehe
