Pirate Treasure from the Whydah

The Whydah Galley sank off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts in April of 1717. Captained by Samuel "Black Sam" Bellamy, the Whydah is the only known pirate ship from the Golden Age of Piracy to be accurately identified and have its historically valuable artifacts recovered. The Whydah was discovered and authenticated by Barry Clifford of Maritime Explorations in 1984, and artifacts are still being recovered from the Whydah wreck to this day.

Wow! Probably worth of ton! Thanks for showing!

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks for watching! It is such a great museum, and they have done a wonderful job preserving the artifacts and displaying them for the public.

Not only did I thoroughly enjoy seeing the many relics in the museum, I also enjoyed your choice of music to accompany this video 😃💖. Thank you Jonathan for a great tour!!

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

Didn't you dig a cobb in NY?

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks, Kaye. I am glad that you enjoyed it. What is on display at the museum is absolutely amazing.

[@Zer-db1bp]

Captain Bellamy is fascinating to me

[@johnchumadventures8075]

What great treasures. Glad the treasures were recovered and put in the museum.

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

I agree, John. I think I read that Barry Clifford has not sold any of the artifacts that were recovered from the Whydah - they are all either in the museum or undergoing restoration.

[@silvergopher]

Nice. Thank you for taking us along.

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

My pleasure. I am glad that you enjoyed the tour.

[@bertuccigirl]

You always pick the perfect music for the subject. Fun to see it all again.

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks - that music was from TH-cam's Audio Library. :-)

Someone once said while pointing, “Whyda ship wreck,” and his buddy responded, “Because it took on water, of course.”

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Nice one! Thanks for watching!

[@TheGiantGarrettDetectorist]

Really enjoyed that trip, very interesting. Take care Ben and Sarah

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks, Ben & Sarah. You have found English coins from this era on your hunts. It must be amazing detecting in your part of England. Take care!

[@Sturika]

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

The museum is well worth the visit. Thanks for watching. 😀

[@OldiesGoodies]

Great Music and a proper theme Johnathan. I just want to know where is my Cob. HH TC

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks, Al. They wouldn't let me take any cobs from the museum. Otherwise, one would be on its way to the Oldies & Goodies Museum in Fulton, NY.

[@WishMeLuckMetalDetecting]

Thanks, Mike. It was a great place to visit while down that way. 🏴‍☠️

[@TenBob]

A great bit of history. My goodness that treasure is amazing 👀. This reminds of the Mary Rose which is in Portsmouth UK. 👍😎🍀

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks for watching! I have heard of the Mary Rose - I’ll have to read up a bit more about it.

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Thanks for the Story and the tour.. I like the part that said just a few coins that were found, and you should a chest full of them..lol Awesome Stuff

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Right - this is just a small percentage of what has been recovered. Let's get out and find one of those treasure chest this summer!

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

@@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964 Love too..Digging in dry grass right now is not a good thing..

[@codytylek7836]

This is great!!!

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks, Cody. It is an amazing exhibit.

[@roxanneramacho7728]

I'm here after watching The lost pirate kingdom series in Netflix.

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

I haven't seen that series yet. I'll have to give it a try.

[@NorthEastCoins]

Nice coins and a history lesson 👏

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks! It really was an incredible exhibit, and they are still recovering things today.

[@sansar820]

Which museum I want visit

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

Really cool! That's what my treasure chest looks like too. No it doesn't. lol.

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

LOL! Can you imagine what sounds would come from your detector if you passed your coil over that chest? Here is hoping that it happens one day!

[@hellboundrubber4448]

Sam Bellamy was of Royal lineage. Freeing Black Slaves from the Empire. Rich kids rebelling. Robin Hood was also Royalty. How else do you become an Archer and know about Castle secret passages to escape?

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks, Marty. Keeping digging in Nova Scotia. I bet there are some Spanish Reales up there just waiting for you to uncover. 😀

[@martinstreasurehunting]

@@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964 Have not been out much this year but come August i'll be doing some road trips on the weekends. I just ordered a 800w solar power station and a small 24 quart DC fridge for the car. Should be fun.

[@AndrejBk]

great exhibition, specially that big chest

[@rivendellcoinsantiquities4964]

Thanks, Andrej. The coins in that exhibit are impressive!
