Wanted to send this as a Xmas gift to a Kidd fan - read a review that wasn't too favorable, but I think the person has a personal ax to grind against Barry Clifford.

The discovery crew are on the defense on that review

- finding buried treasure ain't all so glorious I guess....so I was wondering what you'all thought before I drop some hard won loot on this booty.

Thanks for the treasure "map" ....always appreciate a leg up, especially when it doesn't involve water, being a true landlubber myself - prefer the hidden tunnels and caves of Madagascar

In the interest of authenticity, you should change the name of this thread to "Black Sam" Bellamy and the Whydah. (note the H!) At least that's what the folks that found her say the name is - they found the bell inscribed as such when the found the shipwreck...When they started their search they thought the spelling was Whidah - so there may have been several spellings....but the bell seems to settle it once and for all...being from the northeast coast - can't help but drop my two cents in on that one....can find more about her on http://www.whydah.com
