Just
before midnight on April 26th, 1717, the pirate flagship Whydah wrecked
on the Cape Cod coastline during a powerful nor’easter. The coveted
treasure aboard sometimes upstages the 144 men who lost their lives that
night. Although outlaws, their untimely death was no less tragic than
any other sailor who braved the sea. As we show reverence for their
passing, we at the Whydah Pirate Museum are equally grateful that the
artifacts they left behind can teach future generations about the daring
exploits and democratic ideals of ordinary men.
