Whydah Sinking Described in Original Detail

"Relying heavily on a 1717 map of the wreck site – a true "pirate treasure map", Barry Clifford found Whydah's wreck in 1984 ... a discovery of unprecedented proportions. 
As Clifford describes in this National Geographic video, more than 200,000 artifacts have been retrieved including the ship's bell, inscribed with the words "THE WHYDAH GALLY 1716". 
It is definitely worth the time - see the video.
