MadMike Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 An official list of artifacts recovered from the Whydah, book 3, December 1987. Of course, we have a list provided by Barry Clifford in one of his books, but this is interesting nonetheless. I was stationed in the Air Force in New Hampshire and later in upstate NY, don't ever recall hearing about the discovery of the wreck (media being what it was back in the '80's). "Final report of archaeological testing, the whydah shipwreck, site wlf-ha-1, cape cod, Massachusetts, volume 3: artifact inventory." Some dates on Spanish coins- 1/2 real (no other info provided). 2 real, dated 1686. 8 real, Potosi, 1654. 2 escudo, Mexico mint, dated 1688. 8 escudo, Lima, 1712. https://archive.org/details/finalreportofarc00mari Try these for starters- "A General History of the Pyrates" edited by Manuel Schonhorn, "Captured by Pirates" by John Richard Stephens, and "The Buccaneers of America" by Alexander Exquemelin.
