So..why did the museum move from ptown to yarmouth?

[@YeeSoest]

Damn, imagine they find out one of them was someone we know!? Bellamy drowned, why shouldn't it be the Cap himself???

[@foresttemple1380]

Yes..and likely he's the only one who ever was at the cape prior to the whydah wrecking. Having stolen the ship in the Caribbean and sailed her North..those pirates were from all over. 150 drowned and were washed up on the beach by Marconi. The admiralty was billed by the local coroner who had the task of disposal.

The Wyda was the flagship of The Free Prince Black Sam aka Sam Bellamy, born 1689, Hittisleigh, Devon, England.

Maybe Pelosi will form a committee to investigate, since that is all congress does these days.
