We do not sell the artifacts we discover. Instead, we use them as touchstones
to the past in order to learn about mankind's maritime history.
Each shipwreck is a time capsule from the period during which it sank, and each
artifact has its own story to tell about what life was like on the day of that
wreck.
These pages discuss some of the artifacts we've recovered, and where they can
be seen first-hand.
The Whydah began her short life as a slave-ship in London, England, in 1715. Two years later, now a pirate flagship, she sank in a 1717 storm off Cape Cod. Discovered by underwater explorer Barry Clifford, a selection of the artifacts from the sea-floor is on display at the home of the world’s only pirate shipwreck treasure!
