Divermark: since you are in the UK I will cut you some slack, the WHYDAH was lost in 1717 off of Massachusetts! BTW, she was an English built slave ship prior to her capture by another Brit, Sam Bellamy. I spent many hours in London and Bristol doing much of the original research on her, you've got some incredible archives and libraries my friend.
