Description

La Whydah Gally (comunemente nota semplicemente come Whydah o Whidah, e raramente scritta come Whidaw, o Whido) era una nave galleggiante a pieno aliante che era originariamente costruita come nave negriera per il commercio transatlantico di schiavi. Durante il viaggio di ritorno della sua seconda traversata del commercio triangolare, assunse un nuovo ruolo nell'Era d'Oro della Pirateria, quando fu catturata dal pirata Capitano "Black Sam" Bellamy, e fu ristrutturata come sua ammiraglia. Due mesi dopo, il 26 aprile 1717, la nave si incagliò e capovolse durante una violenta tempesta di burrasca al largo di Cape Cod, portando con sé Bellamy, 143 membri dell'equipaggio, e oltre 4,5 tonnellate corte (4,1 tonnellate) di oro e argento, lasciando solo due sopravvissuti per raccontare la sua storia. La Whydah e il suo tesoro sfuggirono alla scoperta per oltre 260 anni fino al 1984, quando il relitto fu trovato – a solo 14 piedi (4,3 m) di acqua e 5 piedi (1,5 m) di sabbia – diventando il primo relitto di nave pirata autenticato mai scoperto.
