The family-friendly pirate experience features the true tale of ‘Black Sam’ Bellamy – the richest and one of the youngest pirates of all time – and Maria Hallett, the love of his life and so-called ‘Witch of Wellfleet.’ During the early 1700s, Bellamy captured the infamous slave ship Whydah, as well as more than 50 other ships, earning him the nickname the ‘Prince of Pirates.’ Meet the crew and follow their journey as they seek fortune on the high seas, amass the greatest pirate treasure of all times, and ultimately meet their untimely fate when the Whydah sinks in a violent Nor’easter off the coast of Cape Cod. ... See Real Pirate Treasure! See the world’s only fully authenticated pirate treasure ever discovered – including coins, jewelry, and weapons – retrieved from the wreck, and last touched by the hands of pirates more than 300 years ago.” Quote excerpted from internet site.
