After discovering a small brass nameplate, the team that found an unparalleled bounty of pirate riches submerged off Cape Cod with the ship Whydah three decades ago believes that more treasure may be found.
In 1984, Barry Clifford and his diving team discovered the three-masted ship, which had been captured by the infamous pirate captain Sam Bellamy, off the coast of Wellfleet. The latest discovery is a nameplate bearing the words “Whydah Gally 1713,” which Clifford believes may have been attached to the top of a treasure chest.
