Barry Clifford found Sam Bellamy's ship at Marconi Beach and some of the relics are here. The museum is small and focused, but there is enough to stoke a child's imagination. Perfect rainy day activity.

I visited the Whydah Museum with my 7 year old son who is obsessed with treasure hunting and pirates. We went through the museum on our first day in Provincetown and he spent the rest of the vacation begging me to go back so we...More

There is absolutely nothing from the Whydah in this museum. Before we paid for our tickets we asked if there where any pieces of the rare African gold jewelry from the Whydah; we were assured there was. NOT!, or for that matter any other treasure...More
