Featured in William Gilkerson’s book "A Thousand Years of Pirates".
Captain Bellamy used the outports from Maine to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to recruit willing hands. Musicians were highly prized and were given an increased share of the spoils.
Bellamy even staged theatrical dramas on his quarterdeck. His luck ran out off Cape Cod, where his ship drove aground in a gale, drowning him and all of his crew except for eight, who survived the wreck to be tried and hanged in Boston. Silver pieces from "Whydah's" treasure still wash ashore off Cape Cod.
