- Chinchilla cooling ice nest ceramic plate The Black Ship

Swallowed by the shifting sands off Cape Cod in April 1717, were Bellamy, the English-sailor-turned-pirate adventurer, the "Whydah" and its loot. Spellbound by the folklore, the author writes a story of adventure, history and underwater archaeology which is also the tale of two men separated by almost 300 years yet united by a common obsession.
