Podcasts about Whydah

One of the most successful pirates of all time died at sea in a dramatic storm, leaving all his treasure buried under the ocean floor. Hundreds of years later, a Cape Cod man followed a real-life treasure map to find it — and now you can go to his museum to see real-life pirate booty. Featured song: “Jolly Sailor Bold,” performed by the Ranzo Boys.

He might not be the most famous pirate, but Black Sam Bellamy may have been the most successful: when his ship wrecked in 1717, it took Sam with it, along with an astonishing 4.1 tonnes of gold and treasure. Forbes estimated that at his death, the "Prince of Pirates" was worth more than $120 million. And he did it all for love. This week on the podcast, we talk to Dr Jamie Goodall about Bellamy's doomed romance with the "Witch of Wellfleet," Maria Hallett, his unusual battle tactics, and how the Whydah was found again in the 1980s. Jamie also offers tips for finding pirates in your own family tree--chances are, you may have one or two.

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. The guys begin with David talking about a treasure trove of new information that kept him up til 1 am! Speaking of treasure, David then talks about visiting a museum for the pirate ship, Whydah. Next, big news about RootsTech 2024! Then, a Virgin Galactic rocket has taken the remains of two ancient men into space. David explains. How would you like to be eight years old and find an artifact that dates back a thousand years or more? It's happened in Sweden! In segment two, Fisher visits with NEHGS intern Kim Taylor, talking from her native Scotland. Kim is a rookie genie and has made a remarkable find about a relative in her line who got a little too angry one night. Hear about her find of an attempted arsonist. In segment three, New York Biological and Genealogical Society President Josh Taylor brings us up to date on what is happening in New York City AND New York State records. Then, David returns for Ask Us Anything, answering your questions. That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!

A few times each year, the Eastern Paradise-Whydah puts on its party clothes. This small finch is found in East Africa, and males and females generally share the same nondescript appearance. But when it's time to mate, the male sprouts extravagant, long, black tail feathers two or three times the length of his body. The feathers make it look like he's wearing a long black cape, thus the nickname, “the widow bird.”More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

In this episode we discuss "The Whydah. A Pirate Ship Feared, Wrecked, and Found" by Martin W. Sandler

Das englische Schiff Whydah wurde als Sklaventransporter gebaut, dann jedoch von Piraten gekapert. Unter Piratenflagge wurde sie zum Flaggschiff von "Black Sam" Bellamy und beförderte schließlich den größten bekannten Piratenschatz aller Zeiten. 1717 warf ein Hurrikan die Whydah nur 150 Meter von ihrem Zielhafen auf eine Sandbank.

Samuel Bellamy, or "Black Sam" Bellamy, was an extraordinarily successful pirate, albeit for a very short time. Called the "Robin Hood of the Seas," he abhorred violence, treated his victims humanely, and was very generous to his men. When he and his fleet captured the slave ship Whydah Gally, he scored a huge payday, but it all wound up lost for almost 300 years when the Whydah was wrecked in a storm off Cape Cod in 1717. This is the story of the Gentleman Pirate, a ship laden with riches, and the discovery of its treasure.For images and sources please visit https://shipwrecksandseadogs.com/blog/2023/03/04/black-sam-bellamy-the-whydah-gally/

Arrgh! An die Segel, ihr Landratten, Steuerbord voraus! – So oder so ähnlich dürfte es 1717 auf der Whydah Gally geklungen haben. Der Newcomer unter den Piraten und überaus erfolgreiche Captain Black Sam Bellamy verdingte sich erst wenige Monate als sogenannter Bukaniere auf See, nachdem er bereits mit Piratengrößen wie Benjamin Hornigold und Edward Blackbeard Teach gesegelt war. Da erspähte er auf einer seiner Streiffahrten durch die Karibik das Sklavenhandelsschiff Whydah und witterte fette Beute. Zwar gelang es ihm und seiner Crew das Schiff zu kapern und mit ihm die wertvolle Fracht, sodass sich schließlich einer der größten bekannten Piratenschätze in seinem Besitz befand, doch das Schicksal meinte es nicht gut mit ihm. Wie die Geschichte um Bellamy, seine Crew und die Whydah ausgeht, erfahrt ihr in der Folge. Wir besprechen die Hintergründe des Schiffes, der Piraterie und des Sklavenhandels im 18. Jahrhundert sowie die spektakuläre Entdeckung des bislang einzigen entdecken, authentischen Piratenwrack aus dem goldenen Zeitalter der Seeräuberei. Euch hat der Podcast gefallen?

Whydah Gally was a fully rigged galley ship that was originally built as a passenger, cargo, and slave ship. On the return leg of her maiden voyage of the triangle trade, Whydah Gally was captured by the pirate Captain Samuel "Black Sam" Bellamy, beginning a new role in the Golden Age of Piracy. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/juliusmanuel/message

We could have listened to Josh talk for hours and hours about all the incredible parts of his collections and his plans to spread that knowledge to the masses. But we all have lives to live and families to tend to. In lieu of having Josh back to nerd out over pirate history (which we're hoping to make happen, don't you worry), your weekend Curio Corner has Sam, Spellcheck, and Grae in the Pod Office chatting over an actual mountain of silver in Bolivia, Sam Bellamy's treasure on the shipwrecked Whydah, and a brief history of the flintlock firing mechanism on those fancy pistols seen in every pirate movie ever made.

Le 26 avril 1717, un terrible ouragan souffle sur la côte est des colonies américaines, emportant avec lui le Whydah et ses trois compagnons de voyage. À bord du trois-mâts, le capitaine Bellamy, aussi connu sous le nom de Black Sam, a seulement le temps de voir la déferlante se briser sur ses rêves avant que la tempête ne l'engloutisse avec son équipage et son formidable trésor.Dans les années 1950, dans un petit village de pêche du cap Cod, Barry Clifford grandit au rythme des chansons de marins et du récit que lui font ses aïeux du naufrage du Prince des Pirates, survenu deux siècles et demi auparavant. Le jeune Clifford s'en fait alors le serment : il sera celui qui découvrira le trésor englouti de Samuel Bellamy.

On April 26, 1717, amidst the golden age of piracy, Captain Samuel ‘Black Sam' Bellamy tried to navigate a violent storm  off of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The flagship of his pirate fleet, The Whydah Gally, shipwrecked and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean where it stayed until 1984. Now, more than 300 years after the wreck, HBH is excited to be joined by the man who discovered the Whydah, Underwater Archaeologist, Explorer and Author: Barry Clifford.The only pirate shipwreck in the world whose whose identity is unquestionably authenticated, the Whydah contained a vast treasure including the booty from more than 50 ships which the 140-plus man crew had pirated, as well as 60 cannons. Surprisingly, the 110-foot Whydah contained much more than its buried treasure. Also excavated was extensive evidence and documentation that perhaps the most progressive, diverse and inclusive democracies in the world at the time were found on-board pirate ships, 59 years before the founding of the United States. Moreover, due to a promise to his close friend and First Mate, John F. Kennedy Jr., none of the artifacts from the Whyda shipwreck have ever been sold. They are on display at the incredible Whydah Pirate Museum in Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Barry Clifford is the author of seven books including ‘Expedition Whydah: The Story of the World's First Excavation of a Pirate Treasure Ship and the Man Who Found Her'.

Jeff Blumenfeld is a writer, journalist, and PR professional who specializes in travel and adventure marketing. Jeff is a Fellow of The Explorers Club, the recipient of the Leif Erikson Exploration History Award, and the author of Get Sponsored: A Funding Guide for Explorers and Travel With Purpose: A Field Guide to Voluntourism.In this episode, you'll hear from Jeff Blumenfeld on;(00:07:54) Polar expeditions. Jeff speaks about his involvement with the explorer Will Steger, who led the first confirmed dog sled expedition to the North Pole. He explains the significance of the expedition and recalls his experience of watching the Northern Lights at Steger's training base at Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.(00:17:35) Pirate ships. We discuss underwater explorer Barry Clifford's confirmed discovery of the Whydah, the first authenticated pirate ship found in North America, and his later possible discovery of Christopher Columbus's flagship, the Santa Maria, off the coast of Haiti. (00:29:09) Bread, salt, and vodka. Jeff shares his story of accompanying Paul Schurke on part of his historic Soviet-American expedition from Siberia to Alaska and describes what it was like to be on the receiving end of some traditional Russian hospitality.(00:37:07) Voluntourism: As someone who likes to make a difference when he's traveling, Jeff recommends the Scandinavian practice of ‘plogging' (picking up trash while enjoying the great outdoors). He also suggests helping out at the local Humane Society or participating in the Pack for a Purpose program. (00:54:38) Volunteering in the US. Jeff reminds listeners that they don't need a passport to volunteer, and he shares details of several organizations in America that are in urgent need of volunteers.

As Shelby and Dawn resume the tale of Mary Read and Anne Bonny from PART 1, they begin with a discussion of how they themselves earn their loot - not as pirates, but even more notorious - as entertainers in Los Angeles. 00:00:00 - Shelby asks Dawn how she began doing stand-up comedy and Dawn explains how the path from being a Theater Major led her here. Dawn also explains why she loves comedy and how she considers the art of making others laugh to be a sacred one. 00:04:15 - Dawn asks Shelby how she got into voice work. Shelby explains how she began acting on stage and on camera rather young and when she discovered voice acting she was hooked. Among other things, it was nice to be able to focus on something other than her physical appearance. 00:07:15 - Shelby tells us about how she got the job of being the voice of Princess Leia and how it fells to be a part of the 'Star Wars Family'. 00:08:10 - Shelby demonstrates some of her voices and characters (Including PIRATES!)00:09:40 - Dawn talks about a job she had at The Science Museum of Minnesota representing both Mary Read and Anne Bonny among the artifacts of an actual pirate shipwreck, The Whydah. 00:12:33 - Shelby has an impressive following on all social media - especially Tiktok. Dawn laments her own wayward use of the app... 00:14:03 - WHEN LAST WE MET: We set sail again and catch up with where we left our story in Part 1. 00:15:00 - Fact or Fiction: Peg Leg/ Hook Hand? FACT: Pirates were comparatively good about keeping a hurt or disabled cremate aboard, assigning them tasks that could accommodate their limitations. Thus the one-legged cook of lore.00:16:25 - Shelby asks Dawn: Would you have been a pirate? Of course she would. Shelby's answer is more complex. 00:18:20 - How did Mary meet Anne? Not entirely sure but Dawn relays her top theories. Were they lovers? Best friends? Both? History has no definitive answer. 00:20:54 - Of the many incredible adventures had with Mary, Anne and Calico Jack - Dawn selects her three favorite tales. 00:21:19 - Mutiny in the Woodes - Mary Read leads a fantastic mutiny aboard the ship of Privateer Woodes Rogers.00:23:16 - James Bonny successfully kidnaps Anne and drags her before a judge. It does not end well for him.00:25:58  - The arrest and trial of the merry band - all the way to their individual ends.BREAK00:31:59 - Fact/Fiction: Buried Treasure: Mostly Fiction in the way it has been portrayed. 'Buried Treasure' more likely was shipwrecks among which loot was known to be recoverable. 00:34:18 - The Skull & Crossbones Flag, like so much of the Pirates possessions, was stolen. It was originally a symbol of the Freemasons and was usurped by the pirates because it often was flown as a signal of 'no harm'.  Later, captains would design their own 'dark flags' that often still included skulls and other intimidating imagery. 00:36:54 - Shelby asks: Were pirates competitive among each other. Dawn discusses Pirates of the Caribbean… begrudgingly.00:39:22 - A Privateer is an individual that is so much like a pirate they're sometimes indistinguishable - but the lines are often very clear... to all but the executioner. 00:41:10 - Dawn's Favorite PILF's 00:41:19 - Blackbeard. Who isn't intrigued by Blackbeard. His imitating look and reputation were very much manufactured and bolstered by Edward Teach (his real name). Anything that would inspire surrender was utilized to avoid a fight. 00:45:56 - Captain Kidd. More of a Pirate I'd Like to FUCK OFF, Captain Kidd was something of a volatile baby but fun enough to make the list. 00:48:04 - Captain Grace O'Malley. A fiery red Irish pirate who had a memorable audience with Queen Elizabeth I. 00:52:13 - Captain Lady Chang. Arguably the most successful pirate in history and among the very, very few to enjoy retirement and old age. 00:56:45 - A fond farewell to Shelby Young and a promise to road trip together to Pirate Dinner Theater and share all of the photos with you, of course.  COMING NEXT:EPISODE 11 - The History of Stand-UP with author Wayne Federman.

In the autumn of 1717 the storm that sank the Whydah may have abated, but the winds of change still pummel the survivors. In fact, all across the Atlantic the British Empire and her colonies now start to turn the screw on pirates everywhere. The remaining Bellamy pirates face an uncertain future. Some will try and forge new careers against mounting resistance, but others must stand trial for their crimes against society, the crown and God. Boston hosts a landmark legal case. Some are guiltier than others – will any be spared? Or will they all end up at the end of a short drop and dancing the hangman's jig? Learn more about your ad choices.

The Pin-tailed Whydah is not exactly known for being humble, flashing around its tail to attract a mate. How about you? What are you on the humble meter?

Life's Tough Media is pleased to announce the latest episode of our “Life's Tough: Explorers are TOUGHER!” podcast series. Hosted by Richard Wiese—explorer extraordinaire and President of The Explorers Club—this episode features Barry Clifford, an underwater archeologist and among the world's best known underwater explorers, known for discovering the remains of Samuel Bellamy's wrecked pirate ship The Whydah, the only fully verified and authenticated pirate shipwreck of the Golden Age of Piracy ever discovered in the world. In this episode, Barry Clifford tells how he first got excited about exploring by spending hours playing in the drained cranberry bogs by his house, and finding the treasure that surfaced there. Barry grew up in Brewster Massachusetts and remembers hearing his uncles telling tales of the war, and their latest fishing expeditions. Most exciting was the story they told of the wrecked pirate ship, the Whydah (pronounced wih-duh) and the legend of Samuel Bellamy and his girlfriend—a condemned witch at the time, whose eyes were the color of the deep sea and her hair like cornsilk. “I'm just fascinated with solving riddles,” Barry says. “The key to a lot of this is having experience with diving and being able to recognize things that most people wouldn't recognize.” Some of his discoveries include The Fiery Dragon, commanded by the pirate William “Billy One-Hand” Condon; Captain Morgan's flagship, The Oxford; the wreck of The Sainte-Marieoff the coast of Madagascar that he believes was part of Captain Kidd's treasure, where he found a 110 lb. silver ingot in. But then Barry found it! The legendary pirate ship from his uncle's stories—the remains of the Whydah—just off the coast of Wellfleet, Massachusetts. The Whydah is the only fully verified and authenticated pirate shipwreck of the Golden Age of Piracy ever discovered in the world and it is Barry's most cherished discovery. Artifacts from the wreck provide historians with unique insights into the material, political and social culture of early 18th-century piracy. According to the federal admiralty law in 1988, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that 100% of the Whydah rightfully belonged to Barry Clifford. In fact, Barry also has exclusive diving rights to the site which is patrolled by the National Park Service and U.S. Coast Guard. Barry has kept the Whydah Collection intact without selling a single piece of the more than 200,000 recovered artifacts, which includes tens of thousands of coins, more than 60 cannon, and the "everyday" objects used by the crew. He maintains a large private facility in which the majority of the Whydah artifacts are kept for conservation and examination; however, Clifford exhibits a variety of the ship's artifacts, as well as from many other shipwreck discoveries, for the public to enjoy at his Whydah Pirate Museum in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts. In addition, a smaller selection of artifacts are kept with an international touring exhibition through a National Geographic/Premier Exhibitions joint venture, called Real Pirates. Join Richard and Barry in their fascinating conversation about pirates, their treasures, and the stories these fabled shipwrecks hold.

"Ci disprezzano, quelle canaglie, benché tra noi e loro ci sia una sola differenza: loro rubano ai poveri facendosi scudo della legge, mentre noi rubiamo ai ricchi difendendoci soltanto con il coraggio." Samuel Bellamy era detto il Robin Hood dei mari, e anche il Principe. Una figura affascinante la sua, e una vita da film.

In Episode 136, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger walk the beaches of Wellfleet on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in search of the ghost of Goody Hallett. In 1717, the pirate ship Whydah sank in a rough storm off the coast of Wellfleet. Some say the ship was sunk as a result of a curse aimed toward the captain, Black Sam Bellamy, by the Witch Goody Hallett.

Paul Kemprecos' fiction-writing career owes its start to the bad navigation of an 18th-century pirate. For it was in 1717 that a ship named Whydah went aground off Cape Cod, reportedly carrying a fabulous treasure. Samuel Bellamy, the ship's captain, was drowned along with most of the crew. In the 1980s, three salvage groups went head-to-head, competing to find the wreck. He was working for a newspaper covering the treasure hunt. The controversy over the salvage got hot at times, and he thought there might be a book based on the story. He developed my own detective, an ex-cop, diver, fisherman, and PI named Aristotle "Soc" Socarides. He was more philosophical than hard-boiled. His first appearance was in "Cool Blue Tomb," which won the Shamus Award for Best Paperback novel. After many years in the newspaper business, I turned to writing fiction and churned out five more books in the series. Clive Cussler blurbed: "There can be no better mystery writer in America than Paul Kemprecos." Several months after the release of "Bluefin Blues," Clive called and said a spin-off from the Dirk Pitt series was in the works. It would be called the NUMA Files, and he wondered if I would be interested in tackling the job. I took on the writing of "Serpent," which brought into being Kurt Austin and the NUMA Special Assignments Team. Austin had some carry-over from Soc, and another team member, Paul Trout, had been born on Cape Cod. The book made The New York Times bestseller list, as did every one of seven NUMA Files that followed, including "Polar Shift," which bumped "The Da Vinci Code" for first place. After eight NUMA Files, He went back to writing solo. He wrote an adventure book entitled, "The Emerald Scepter," which introduced a new hero, Matinicus "Matt" Hawkins. In 2013, He brought Soc back again in a seventh Socarides book entitled, "Grey Lady." After that book, he wrote a sequel to the first Matt Hawkins book, entitled, "The Minoan Cipher," which was nominated for a Thriller Award in the Best Paperback category for 2017 by the International Thriller Writers. The eighth Soc book, "Shark Bait," incorporates the aforementioned story of the Whydah, its doomed captain Samuel Bellamy, and his lover, Mary Hallett. His wife Christi and he live on Cape Cod where she works as a financial advisor. They share a circa 1865 farmhouse with two cats. They have three children and seven granddaughters.

EPX member Barry Clifford has discovered some of the most incredible shipwrecks in the world and details what it was like to find the world's only verified pirate treasure - worth close to one billion dollars.  In 1717 the Whydah went down off the coast of Cape Cod after robbing 54 other ships.  It was captained by the #1 original gangster of the seas Captain "Black" Sam Bellemy.  Barry found it and has been discovering stories of our past ever since.

The real lives of pirates are documented in Martin W. Sandler's The Whydah: A Pirate Ship Feared, Wrecked and Found. And after reading the book — nominated for the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Book Award — a group of Dorothy's List readers at Springfield Town Library did some pirate research of their own.

Archeologist Chris Macort unearths & traces the riches of wild successful pirate prince Captain Sam Bellamy. Who’s got the treasure now? Who really gets rich from pirates’ loot? Come aboard and trace the revenue stream originally and ill-gottenly gained by pirate Captain Sam Bellamy who profitably plundered scores of ships throughout the Caribbean at the dawn of the 18th Century. Host Bart Jackson brings on underwater field archeologist Christopher Macort who leads an ongoing expedition sifting the sunken remains of Bellamy’s ship, The Whydah, which sank in a storm right off Cape Cod (the home of his lady love) in 1717. Bellamy, the Bill Gates of pirates, had parceled out 50-pound gold and silver sacks as shares for each of his 145-man crew. Macort tells how the pirates fared, how the ensuing treasure hunters made out, and what he and expedition founder Barry Gifford are bringing up from the depths. Want to know how pirates lived & died, how archeologists actually unearth these riches, and where you may now view some of this astounding wealth?

"Black Sam Bellamy and the Wreck of the Whydah" tells the story of the notorious pirate Sam Bellamy, who, according to Forbes Magazine, acquired more stolen wealth than any pirate in his time.  He was only involved in piracy for one year, 1716-1717, but was remarkably successful, and had accumulated a wealth of treasure. According to Cape Cod legend, he, upon setting out upon his voyages, had fallen in live with a 16 year old girl named Maria Hallett who he promised he would return to as a wealthy man. She became pregnant, accidentally killed her baby, and was imprisoned for neglect, going crazy through it all. Sam returned, and was just off the coast where she was staying when a storm struck and his ship went down. As the years went by, the legend that his ship had contained riches faded and disappeared, until 1984, when a treasure hunter named Barry Clifford found the wreck containing 4 tons of silver and gold.

Oh, here she comes, watch out sailors she'll chew you up, she's a maneater! It’s a man-trapping good time as we try to squeeze every classic 18th century woman’s stereotype about marriage into one blimey minute of the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest film as possible. Join us for minute 48 as we discuss the movies liberal use of old stereotypes about women and male sailors, ask ourselves if Elizabeth Swann could really pass herself off as a man aboard a ship full of sailors, dive into some crew and their actors including burser’s Max Baker and Captain Bellamy’s Alex Norton, and make a connection to the real pirate “Black Sam” Bellamy and jump into this incredible 18th century history-making pirate and the actual recovery of his ship the Whydah and its treasure in the 1980s.

  Janet Elaine Smith has been writing for over 30 years, but her first book was not published until 2000. Now she has 22 books published and available. Three of them are non-fiction, including a memoir of the 9 years she and her late husband spent in Venezuela. "The rest of them are fun," she says. She writes in many genres, but her favorite is time travel, including her newest book, Port Call to the Future. "It is such fun to be able to change history." Several of her books are based on things she has found in her genealogy searches. She says her husband got all the rich and famous ancestors, while she got the fun ones.  A Little about her new Book! When pirate Black Sam Bellamy's ship, the Whydah, sank off the coast of Cape Cod in 1717, everyone from the crew was found, either dead or alive, except Black Sam himself. He was never seen again-until he washed up at a celebration of his demise that Blair Smythe hosted. Kin to Sam's love in the 1700s, Maria Hallett, Sam thought she was Maria. As Sam learns to deal with today's modern world, Blair sets out to prove that he is who he says he is. A fun romp through two times, with events that author Janet Elaine Smith says surprised even her. Port Call to the Future is the sequel to Maria's story, House Call to the Past.

From the sinking of Black Sam's Wydah to the Medusa's disastrous accident off the African coast, history is rife with tales of shipwrecks. Listen in as Sarah and Deblina as they discuss the Edmund Fitzgerald, the Mary Rose, the Medusa, the Vrouw Maria and the Whydah.
