Présentation de l'éditeur :
It was the end for “Black Sam Bellamy” and his pirates. . . It was 10 p.m. on April 16, 1717, and the crew of the Whydah had only two hours to live. . . .
But two centuries later, it became a new beginning!
Bored by his successful life and obsessed with a boyhood dream of lost pirate treasure, Barry Clifford launched a search for the pirate ship Whydah, which had supposedly wrecked off the coast of Cape Cod. Ignoring claims that he was a fool and a dreamer, Clifford pressed on, until he found the Whydah. . . . And then the story begins.
Expedition Whydah tells two equally enthralling stories of obsession: Bellamy's tale of hard work and crafty piracy, and Clifford's own unbelievable quest to fulfill his dream of finding the sunken ship and building a museum to house her relics. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of a long-gone era of unimaginable adventure'and brutality'and a look at two determined men, one from the past, the other from the present, who let nothing get in the way of their goals. Spirited and colorful, Expedition Whydah is a spellbinding story that will grab your imagination.
Author Barry Clifford reads on two cassettes.
