From the Aug. 19, 2009, Boston Globe.
Barry Clifford brought up his own booty from the pirate ship Whydah (pron. WIH-dah), which sank in a 1717 storm. The late John F. Kennedy, Jr, spotted two cannons on a previous dive to the site.
The ship was discovered in 1984.
One of the cannons weighs 1500 pounds and the other 2000. several pistols and other corroded items have also been found.
In its short career in the early 1700s, the Whydah ransacked 50 other ships.
It's a Pirate's Life for Me. --DaCoot
