Welcome
Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate
Product Description
Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship tells the true story of this vessel, and the men who sailed her, through such artifacts as cannon and pistols to buttons and buckles--and, of course, authentic pirate treasure such as silver "pieces-of-eight" and gold doubloons!
In this heavily illustrated companion volume to The National Geographic Society exhibition of the same name, artifacts of both the slave trade and "the Golden Age of Piracy" are combined with early maps and imagery of the 18th-century world to create a rich and interesting tapestry that expands on the experience of the exhibition itself as well as revealing a historically and archaeologically accurage portrait of the reality as opposed to the myths of piracy in the Caribbean.
By Barry Clifford and Kenneth J. Kinkor (with Sharon Simpson). Photography by Kenneth Garrett. Softcover, 176 pages. The National Geographic Society, 2007.
