The pirate museum in Cape Cod has a ton of Wydah related stuff. Really cool

I’ve used the electrolysis method for cleaning rust off old tools and things. It works great. And it’s easy.

When I saw "time capsule" in the headline I imagined a bunch of pirates, each putting a memento or trinket in a box then stashing it away for posterity like 4th graders.

You're not alone on in thinking that. 😅 Though, honestly, figurative or literal, this time capsule is sure to be interesting.

Yes. And the musket ball.

I could totally imagine a scene like this in Our Flag Means Death. Seems like just the sort of thing Stede would come up with.

And Patchless Joe was accidentally decapitated by a cannon ball the following day.

This reads like it was written by a diligent 5th-grader.

300 years later - Scientists are baffled after discovering a pristine, ornately decorated, mostly cylindrical chest-like box with pirate themed carvings, containing nothing more than 27 eye patches, a parrot feather and the answer to the riddle “What do we do with a drunken sailor”.

How does the Salem pirate museum in the article compare to the one on Cape Cod?

Thanks for the share, OP. I am currently listening to a very good Great Courses audiobook called The Real History of Pirates by Manushag Powell. This article was timely to my enjoyment.

While I have been to Salem a few times, I haven’t been to the pirate museum. The one on the Cape is small but worth the admission.

I’ll bet this is from the Wydah. Beyond Oak Island has been featuring this find/dive with Tony Sampson.

I've never heard of this before, thank you for the info!

Yes it is. I commented before reading.

I took my daughter to the wydah pirate museum for the first time just yesterday.
After we grabbed some lunch and went into Barnes and noble. On one of the front tables as you walk in are two books on the wydah. Coincidence but makes sense.
Later that evening I'm scrolling news and see this article. Really weird. I think the universe is telling me to be a pirate.
On a separate note- the museum was really cool. Tons of old recovered artifacts. Interesting story. They actually have a lab with a bunch of concreted artifacts in various stages of recovery. Neat stuff.

You might want to sign up and sail with the Gotheborg (18th century Swedish ship) this summer. See soic.se

I’ve been to the Wydah museum they have in Cape Cod. Very cool if anyone is in the area. Bunch of gold and silver on display

They still are pulling up stuff from the Wydah. The new museum (not the old one in P Town) is fantastic. Tons of artifacts on display (from pirate weapons to dinner implements to actual treasure) and you can even see artifacts trapped inside concretions that they are slowly trying to free.

Sweden is certainly on my list of places to revisit but I don't think it's happening this year sadly

There's a great book about this, too ("Expedition Whydah" by Barry Clifford). Its the only confirmed pirate treasure! Great story.

Never been to the Salem but the one on cape is definitely worth a trip

Isn’t it where the old Zooquarium was? I heard it’s just slightly more fun than the beach.

I know! Everyone laughed at that place (“what do they have? Squirrels?”), but my kids and I liked it.

The idea of Sam Bellamy making one of those time capsules like gradeschool kids is hilarious....
The idea of John King being the same age as those gradeschool kids is a lot more unpleasant to think about.

I'd be really interested to see the cannon after they the finish the cleaning.
