The article I read is ‘Yellow
brick road’ leads to Massachusetts pirate booty, explorer says from fox
news. This news is to record the experience of an explorer-Barry Clifford and
report it so there is not a clear argument. But this article does write about a
claim from Clifford and show his evidences supporting the claim - more artifacts
can be found from the wreck of the pirate ship Whydah.
The experience of the Whydah shows there is a big chance
that a lot of treasures are on board. “The Whydah sank in a brutal storm in
1717 with plunder from 50 ships on board” wrote in this article. According to
Colonial-era documents discovered in April, the Whydah raided two ships before
it sank. The Whydah was a pirate ship and these evidences show it raided a lot
of ships so Clifford believes that when the Whydah ship sank it had plenty of
treasures on it.
What they have found indicates there are more treasures.
Clifford pulled up some compelling evidences on the prior trip: “a cannonball
piled with 11 coins and a foot-and-a-half long piece of iron stacked with 50
coins”. (Fox, pars. 15) Clifford believes those coins is an example of what’s
left because the possibility that all of those coins just happen to fall on
these pieces is very small.
Clifford will get back to the wreck of the Whydah in the
spring and he is very excited about looking for more artifacts.
