Fascinating to hear him speak! I went to the Pirate exhibit back when it was in Cincinnati. Thank you for sharing your story and the artifacts, Mr. Clifford!
I wish they updated us more on the stuff theyre finding and processes theyre going thru. I keep searching "whydah" on RUclips and keep getting all the same old videos.
Anyone else get goosebumps watching artifacts from 1717?? Like the kids shoe and bones?? Its kinda spooky and surreal. Watching pirate movies and reading the folklore and then seeing it in real life... craaaazy.
It was this ship that got me all excited about finding treasure when I was young. And working at a small mint it is the reason I do spanish cob replicas that are all related to shipwrecks. each one dated for a different fleet or shipwreck. I have saved the Whydah for last. As it is the ultimate treasure for me. I, like many cob collectors would love to own a piece of the Whydah. But I am glad Barry did what he did so all can see this incredible piece of history. It combines all the elements of what we dream about being treasure.
Every boys dream to find that and a gentleman not to sell any of it as history is more important than money and a boys dream to come true is a gift from heaven.
This REAL PIRATES exhibit now has a permanent home in South Yarmouth on Cape Cod and will open Summer of 2016; it's sister museum in Provincetown - the Whydah Pirate Museum, which Clifford opened 21 years ago - will also remain open.
I still get goosebumps when i read about this particular finding. My reasons for it: Between Aug 1958 and Aug 1960 i was stationed at oTIS AFB in Falmouth. Spent some time on the Cape highway and around the "dunes" where this all took place......which is off "Welfleet" if i recall. I mever even heard about the Whydah. ........1980-1982 ( somewhere in that range ) I had bought a Metal Detector and shortly after started getting a magazine 'Treasure HUnter" There was an article in there on month which almost "pinpointed" to the area that the wreck was supposed to be lying in.. Of course my thoughts started to run away with me, but being a single father raising 3 sons i didn't have any $$$ or opportunity to do anything about it. FINALLY........"discovery of the Whydah" made the news. And guess what? She was sitting on the bottom seemingly in a fairly good ;position, just about the EXACT location as had been mentioned in the magazine. Someone eventually had "triangulated the location" to almost a pinpoint. When she was found, her mast supposedly was...................ONLY 10-feet below the surface of the water. How awesome was that? Yep, it sure is nice to have a lot of $$$$$
I understand wanting to keep things "as they were found". But the concretion on the bell doesn't really need to be there. I'd rather see the entire bell without that ugly looking mass on top of it for no good reason. Truly a fascinating story and find. My buddies nonnie owns a beach house down in West Yarmouth. Will have to mention this story to him.
I wish most documentaries and history videos were more like this. If you watch the History channel it's a bunch of ridiculous s*** and has nothing to do with history or documentation
Oh my GOD. IT really is every boys dream isnt it, SO i wasnt alone...:) how i would like to travel over Waters and see the World and start reading some of the old books about these Things....;)
The Atocha shipwreck was a spanish galleon which wrecked in 1622 off the marquesses in the fl keys. It wasn’t a pirate ship, rather a royal Spanish treasure galleon. The Whydah is the only known and authenticated pirate ship found.
@@matthewpuleo5678 I did NOT say the Atocha was a "Pirate ship", but rather the treasure aboard her, and the guy says the treasure is not "pirate" treasure. Get it right, dude.
@@RockerDave12 I was only trying to offer friendly context to you, no need to get aggressive. I had assumed by your prior comment that you thought the Atocha treasure was indeed pirate treasure, as you came off as questioning whether what Barry said about the Atocha’s treasure was true. Again, call it what you want but the treasure aboard the Atocha was NOT pirate treasure. It was a mixture of the king’s treasure, the Catholic Church’s treasure, money to pay off war debts, and personal treasure being shipped back to Spain as well as personal affects owned by passengers aboard the Atocha.

This is actually very interesting and inspiring, thank you National Geographic for uploading this. :)

Brings me back.Went to school at Nauset High when a this was happening.His son was in a few of my classes.Can't wait to watch
Barry Clifford is a awesome guy thanks so much
Fantastic, would love to see that treasure. As a scuba diver, i would love to come across something like that!

WORTH THE WATCH!!!

I wish this could be a few hours longer. But thanks!
Enjoyed every minute...Thank You for the Video!
Absolutely EXCITING & FABULOUS!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
awesome story. Thanks for sharing.
This was amazing. I hope many others come across and listen to this video.
This was absolutely a fabulous video. Thank you. To see a picture of a real pirate treasure chest. Wow.
Every boys dream to find that and a gentleman not to sell any of it as history is more important than money and a boys dream to come true is a gift from heaven.
This was SO good.
Great video!!
I feel it's one thing to describe an artifact and quite another to describe it in such a way as to truly merit it's worth. Bravo!!

what a great story man!
Yup, hes my cousin.
He’s so cool! Love listening to him talk about all his experiences, describing the artifacts & telling the stories… he is spellbinding!
wow, what amazing artifacts and very interesting man to listen too!
Amazing video! Thank you so much Mr.Clifford you and your team are heroes!!! 👌🏼👍🏼

I dont know what is more exiting, the pictures of the treasure ship or treasure in a form of a photo of John Kennedy Jr. on ship)

Truly a fascinating story and find. My buddies nonnie owns a beach house down in West Yarmouth. Will have to mention this story to him.
I think the mass of top of it is part of the Bell

This is my last Nat Geo video. They do a good job but I can’t stand the advertisements every 7 minutes. That’s too much

Oh lord.. is he really going to talk about it for 30 mins?
so, according to this dude, the Atocha treasure is not "pirate" treasure?
The Atocha shipwreck was a spanish galleon which wrecked in 1622 off the marquesses in the fl keys. It wasn’t a pirate ship, rather a royal Spanish treasure galleon. The Whydah is the only known and authenticated pirate ship found.
