Whydah Pirate Museum, antiquing, and lunch!

Petey joined us on our pirate adventure!

The ship's bell showing the name "Whydah" which confirmed they found it!!!  
Kept under sea water to preserve it.

real buried treasured recovered from the wreck of the Whydah



they have a few on display so you can touch (but not steal) actual pirate treasure!



amongst the wreckage they discovered the ship's stove

xrays of the concretions to help determine what lies beneath

what's your pirate name???

you can actually still see a plate on top of what is left of the stove - so cool!
